Real Madrid defender Raphael Varane is causing a lot of headlines ever since it was revealed that he wants to leave. It became more intense when Jose Luis Sanchez, who is very reliable when it comes to Real Madrid transfer news, stated that the Frenchman does indeed want to leave the Merengues.

As a result, the Galacticos are planning for everything. Ideally, they would like to keep their star man. However, should they fail to convince him to stay, the will have to sign another world-class defender to fill in for the World Cup winner.

Kalidou Koulibaly of Napoli is the ideal choice for Zidane but Florentino Perez may have other plans. According to AS, the construction magnate is eying a move for Atletico Madrid star Jose Gimenez. However, it would be hard to get any of the two players as they are both considered non-transferable.

Gimenez is valued at €105 million while Koulibaly is rated at €150 million.
