After it was revealed that David Luiz is leaving Chelsea, the press started announcing candidates for the Brazilian's spot.
The Guardian reports that Jose Mourinho wants to see Raphael Varane, a center-back trained at Real Madrid, in place of D. Luiz.
The Blues will receive as much as 40 million pounds sterling from Paris Saint-Germain for D. Luiz, but it will not be easy to cheaply acquire the young Frenchman. R. Varane is already considered one of the best young defenders in the world.
During his time at Real Madrid, J. Mourinho acquired the 21-year-old player. Without waiting, the strategist gave the Frenchman a chance, and last season he played 33 matches in the White's ranks.
However, this season R. Varane did not take on a crucial role at the club, and the defender has expressed his sympathy for J. Mourinho several times.
