Probably just took him some time to get use to the league. I watch every single Chelsea game. His play has been the same all year long. He creates a ton of half chances but he just hasn't put the ball in the net and he also hasn't been particularly good on the final pass either. Simply put, he has not been clinical with his final touch, pass, or attempt to score. He's been Shaun Wright Phillips #2.

May 15, 20214 yr Nerve wracking time for Chelsea supporters. This could be a couple weeks of pure glory or it could be a massive failure in falling just short. FA Cup final today vs. Leicester. Then the game that likely determines whether they finish top four or not vs. Leicester (back to back) on Wed. A last Prem match away on Sat at Villa and then the CL final against Citeh. Could be two trophies and a meeting the season long top four goal result OR could be a large dose of nothing at all.

I think there might actually be something to it this time. He's on the last year of his deal this offseason, Madrid need money, so if he doesn't re-sign I could see him being available.

We got Harry who is they physical CB and need a guy like Rio who can bring the ball forward.

His strengths are, without exaggeration, pretty much everything. 6'3", arguably the fastest player in the world, great at tackling, rarely picks up cards, fantastic passer and dribbler, etc. If you designed a defender in FIFA, he'd basically be what you ended up with. The closest thing to a weakness about him are some muscle injuries commonly associated with fast athletes. At Madrid he was usually in more of a deep sweeper role because of his other worldly speed. Also, Ramos was the one given the freedom to get forward because it's Ramos and he's a better striker than most strikers. But make no mistake, Varane is a world class ball playing defender. Cruyff turns, nut megs, carrying the ball forward because he's the fastest player on the pitch, through balls, long balls, he can do it all. He's easily a top 5 CB in the world. IMO, he's #2 after Ramos and the difference isn't that great. He'd walk into United and be the best defender you have at every facet of the game and possibly be your best player overall. I really can't express enough how good he is. Only in Madrid when you spend your career next to Ramos and behind 2 Ballon d'Or winners does a guy this good fly under the radar. It's one of the reasons I noted that he didn't play against Chelsea. During the peak of Madrid's UCL title run, our entire system was basically dependent on Varane covering for Ramos and Marcelo bombing into the final third. He allows you to do things from a tactical perspective that you can't without him. He'd only be available if he wanted a new challenge. Otherwise he gets a blank check and wears the arm band after Ramos is gone.

Could be financial. Madrid is very well managed, unlike Barca, but the timing of COVID with their stadium rebuild was a truly worst case scenario.
