Chelsea and Manchester United could both miss out on a deal for highly-rated Real Madrid defender Raphael Varane, with Bayern Munich eyeing a move.

The Premier League duo are both believed to be tracking the French international, with Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho having already worked with the youngster at the Bernabeu.

But according to the Express, Bayern boss Pep Guardiola has asked agent Jorge Mendes to negotiate a deal with Real, in a bid to take Varane to the Allianz Arena.

The 21-year-old is highly regarded across Europe and is on Manchester United boss Louis van Gaals shortlist of targets, as he looks to strengthen his back line.

Meanwhile, Chelsea have also been tipped to move for Varane as, despite signing impressive Kurt Zouma as the long-term successor to John Terry, there are now doubts emerging over Gary Cahills place in the side, after a shaky first-half of the season.
