Manchester United have agreed a deal to sign French centre-back Rafael Varane from Real Madrid for an initial £34 million ($46.97 million), British media reported on Monday.
Sky Sports said the fee would increase to £41 million ($56.64 million), including add-ons for World Cup winner Varane, who has one year left on his contract at Real.
Since joining him from French side Lens in 2011, the 28-year-old has played more than 350 times for the Spanish club, winning three La Liga titles and four Champions League trophies.
They won the 2018 World Cup with France, and played in all four of their games at this year’s European Championships, as they were knocked out by Switzerland in the last 16.
Last week, England winger Jadon Sancho joined United from Borussia Dortmund in a deal worth 85 million euros ($100.33 million).
They will start their Premier League campaign against Leeds United at Old Trafford on 14 August.
