Real Madrid defender Raphael Varane is reportedly edging closer to a move to Juventus after rejecting interest from Manchester United.
The French centre-back is believed to have asked for an end-of-season exit from Real following eight trophy-laden seasons at the Bernabeu.
Man United and Juventus are considered to be the leading contenders to sign Varane, while Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain also hold an interest.
According to The Mirror, the 25-year-old has already made a decision on his next club, with Italian champions Juventus his favoured destination.
Despite the ongoing speculation over Varane's future, though, Real boss Zinedine Zidane reiterated on Tuesday that he does not want to lose the defender to a Champions League rival.
