The Red Devils announced they had agreed a £43m deal with Real Madrid and the deal is now subject to a medical.

According to L'Equipe, per GetFrenchFootballNews, Varane will earn €250,000-per-week (£214,000) at Man United.

That's double what he was earning at Real Madrid. But how does that compare to the Premier League's best-paid centre-backs?

We've listed the top 20 highest-paid centre-backs in England's top tier using Spotrac and other sources below.

3. Virgil van Dijk - £180,000-per-week

2. Harry Maguire - £190,000-per-week

1. Raphael Varane - £214,000-per-week

Varane will become the highest-paid centre-back in the Premier League if he passes his medical.

It's no wonder he signed for United when they are offering him so much money.

Maguire, who will be Varane's partner at the back, earns just more than arguably the best centre-back in the world, Van Dijk.

Dias was the Premier League's best centre-back last season but earns less than Lindelof and Mina.

Silva and Rudiger also make the top 10, with 11 Premier League centre-backs earning £100,000-per-week or more.
