Some Manche💃ster City fans were reacting after links with a move for Raphael Varane.

According to , Chelsea a🦹re also interested in the defender.

But, Manchester United are reportedly l💯eading the race for the Real Madrid ace.

TBR View: Varane move would increase the level of competition at Manchester City

A move for Varane would increase the level of competition at Manchester City. There 🌠are currently four top-level centre-backs in Nathan Ake, Ruben Dias, John Stones and Laporte.

However, the 28-year-old’s haul of three La Liga titles and four Champions Leagues would add some staggering experience. The club’s 𓄧lack of experience was quite evident in last month’s final as they lost 1ඣ-0 to the Blues.

On the other hand, adding a fifth centre-back would have disastrous consequence. Laporte is already said to be unhappy due to his lack of game time l๊ast campaign.

Signing Varane would pose more prob𒁃lems than it would solve, even if he was to in🍸crease the level of competition.

Here is how fans reacted…
