The Bavarians are keen on signing the center-back and will hope to overtake Real Madrid, who also show interest in the Frenchman after and injury crisis at Bernabeu.

The Bundesliga champions have injury issues of their own and will be left a bit vulnerable during the African Cup of Nations.

Sporting director Christoph Freund has confirmed they will be searching for a defender and are reportedly ready to offer 20 million euros for Varane.

The 30-year-old has struggled at Manchester United this campaign, having constantly being topped by Harry Maguire and Johnny Evans in the starting lineup. That has led to rumors he may well be sailing away from Old Trafford.
