REAL MADRID are not looking to sell Vinicius Junior this summer, according to reports.
It had been claimed that the Spanish giants were keen to cash in on the forward for around £68.5million.
And it was believed Real offered Manchester United the opportunity to sign the Brazilian in negotiations over Raphael Varane.
But according to Fabrizio Romano, Madrid are not thinking about offloading Vinicius.
The transfer guru claims United are not negotiating with Real over the 21-year-old, nor are any other club.
That has not dented the Red Devils’ chances of signing Varane, however.
The Frenchman has agreed a deal in principle to move to Old Trafford and the two clubs only need to agree a fee.
But the they have some negotiating to do, with Real demanding United up their bid from £43m to £50m.
Meanwhile, Varane returned to training this week and spoke to Carlo Ancelotti about his future.
