There are plenty of wish lists which flow and the managers plan their squad as per their financial statuses.
Today we list 3 possible transfers which may materialize during this winter transfer window.
1. Raphael Varane to Chelsea
Source of the rumour: Express
Raphael Varane has been really unlucky not to feature in Real Madrid’s starting lineup after spending nearly 3 and a half seasons with the club. The talented 21-year-old French defender has hardly got playing time with the Spanish giants and may make a move out of the club soon. His ex-boss Jose Mourinho under whom he had made his club debut is currently in charge of Premier League toppers Chelsea FC. It is a known fact that Mourinho has liking for the young defender. Also Chelsea desperately needs a proper replacement of club legend John Terry who is slowly moving out of his prime. They have Garry Cahill in their lineup who can command the defense and with Varane joining the squad, the team’s defensive lineup will reach different height altogether. The team’s squad is already considered to be one of the most balanced sides in the world right now. Raphael Varane’s addition will be an icing on the cake for Jose Mourinho’s side.
