Raphael Varane – Centre-back, Lens
Age 18
Price £10m
French Under-21 international Varane (above left) has reportedly caught the eye of Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson, who has been impressed with the 18-year-old's performances this season. A deal in the region of £10m should be enough to lure the young defender to Old Trafford, with the French club looking for cash to rebuild their squad after suffering relegation from Ligue 1.
