Manchester United transfer news: Zidane’s shortlists 6 players worth over a staggering €2 billion for United and more – September 9, 2018

#2 Varane and Benzema

Varane and Benzema wanted by Zizou

The initial plan was to have this as the final slider. After all, Don Balon came up with this yesterday and I had pinned it down as the blockbuster rumour of the day. However, another story came out earlier today (more on that in the next slide) and pushed this one place below.

According to the Spanish outlet, the Manchester United board are extremely fed up with Jose Mourinho and want to bring in the former Real Madrid manager as their next coach.

Zidane is interested in taking the job and as a result, has targeted two Madrid players to sign for the Red Devils. One of them is Raphael Varane, who has a release clause of €200 million, and the other is the in-form Karim Benzema, who holds the highest release clause in football of an insane €1 billion.

So, yeah, a lot of hard work is needed to pull that off.
