There have been rumors that Raphael Varane wants to leave Real Madrid at the end of this season. If that is the case, Chelsea should make the best of this opportunity.

The 25-year-old World Champion is one of the world's best defenders right now and has been incredibly consistent for the past three seasons.

It will be a great signing for the Blues as the French International lacks almost nothing in his style of play. He has great speed, is good in one on one situations, can defend well in aerial situations, and he can score a few goals from set-pieces too.

Also, the Real Madrid player has almost won everything in his career right from the World Cup to the Champions League (4 times), La Liga (2 times), and the Spanish Super Cup (2 times). Varane surely brings a lot of experience and winning mentality with him.

There is no doubt this will be a dream signing for Maurizio Sarri if it happens this summer.
