Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho remains keen on Real Madrid defender Raphael Varane.
Don Balon says Mourinho worked with the central defender during his time at the Bernabeu and remains a fan.
And he has a plan to bring Varane to Old Trafford.
Mourinho is set to use Leonardo Bonucci's possible move from Juventus to Real as leverage to broker a deal for Varane.
The 23-year-old will be guaranteed first-team football at United.
He would also be offered a lucrative contract.
