Ed(s) with all the comments regarding Raphael Varane am I correct in thinking that at the last major transfer window Chelsea obtained an hours extension until midnight to complete his signing and once that was cleared Real Madrid upped the ante by asking for all expenses and taxes to be paid by our Club and we walked away? The relationship with RM appears to have soured since then.

{Ed018's Note - I do t know the exact details, but yea Chelsea were close to signing Varane in January}

Agree0 Disagree0

Ed002 mentioned back then that it was close. But I don't think Benitez will want to lose Varane to us. It's a shame, though I've read that he wasn't very impressive last season.
I'd definitely prefer him over Stones, hell I'd even prefer Laporte or Rudiger over Stones.

IIRC, the deal was close but Real Madrid insisted on the associated costs being met for Laporte (who they wanted as a replacement for Varane). the deal fell apart after that.

Unfortunately I don't think Benitez will allow Varane to leave especially not to Jose!
