Lens chief claims Varane bids

ens president Gervais Martel claims he has rejected bids of over 10million euros for Manchester United and Real Madrid target Raphael Varane. Martel insists the asking price for Varane has been met but is apparently unwilling to sell the 18-year-old to "certain big overseas clubs", amid reports Manchester United and Real Madrid are keen on acquiring him.Following a superb breakthrough season last term Varane has attracted significant interest and Martel confirmed to RMC radio station: "Paris Saint-Germain have made me an offer, that is probably the worst kept secret around."A second club is also interested in him, but he isn't necessarily guaranteed first-team football there either. The asking price is around 10million euros (£8.9million)."Certain big overseas club have offered more, but I quickly shut the door on them!"We are on the same wavelength as the player, it's all a question of timing. I don't think we are too far from finding a solution."
