Liverpool hold talks with agents of Man Utd target Varane

Liverpool have held talks with the agents of Real Madrid defender Raphael Varane.

The Manchester Evening News says Liverpool, Manchester United, and a number of unnamed clubs are holding talks with Varane's camp as he approaches his final year as a Real Madrid player.

Liverpool have been without Virgil Van Dijk for the majority of the campaign, whilst Joel Matip has been in-and-out of the side with injuries himself.

This has left the Red's spread thin at the back, with Fabinho - a natural midfielder - having to cover.

However, Jurgen Klopp did sign both Ozan Kabak and Ben Davies in January - and Nat Phillips has stepped up for the German.

But the lack of seniority at the back has been a cause for concern without Van Dijk and Matip, and it's - reportedly - what Varane will bring to the side should he sign for Liverpool.
