Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho wants Raphael Varane AND Alvaro Morata from Real Madrid in exchange for David De Gea
The Manchester United boss will play hardball to get the most he can from the Spaniards for his £60million-rated goalkeeper
JOSE MOURINHO will demand BOTH Raphael Varane and Alvaro Morata from Real Madrid in exchange for David De Gea.
The Manchester United boss is going to play hardball to get the maximum he can from the Spanish giants.
SunSport told you this week that Real are willing to cough up a £60m world-record fee for a goalkeeper to nab 26-year-old Spain No 1 De Gea.
But Mourinho wants at least one player thrown into the bargain.
Madrid rate Morata, 24, at over £50m. While a deal for the striker could be struck, Real are certain to reject Mourinho's demands for centre-back Varane, 23, who is considered a pillar of Madrid's team in the long-term.

It means the two powerhouses are on a collision course once again for De Gea who is understood to want a return home.
De Gea nearly joined Real two years ago for £30m but the clubs bungled the deal on transfer deadline day.
And last summer Real did not activate a £30m get-out clause for De Gea which expired last June.
Yet they are now ready to pay an astronomical sum to land him.
