'Bayern said €5m was too much' - Sagnol reveals how German giants lost out to Real Madrid in Varane pursuit

Bayern Munich were reluctant to fork out €5 million (£4.5m) for Raphael Varane while he was on the books of Lens, as indicated by Willy Sagnol, who was feeble to keep Real Madrid from taking the inside back's mark. 

Varane developed as one of the most brilliant youthful abilities in European football during his time at Lens, drawing in the consideration of Jose Mourinho at Santiago Bernabeu all the while. 

The Portuguese chief figured out how to bait the Frenchman to Madrid in the late spring of 2011, and Varane focused on a six-year contract with the club at the youthful age of 18. 

Varane has since piled on 301 appearances over all opposition without a doubt, scoring 14 objectives, while getting 17 significant distinctions altogether. 

Madrid have won four Champions League crowns and three La Liga titles with the World Cup victor marshaling the barrier nearby Sergio Ramos, and the pair keep on performing at the most significant level on a reliable premise right up 'til today. 

Sagnol was filling in as a scout at Bayern while Varane was ascending through the positions at Lens, and was shot somewhere near the club's board in the wake of prescribing they attempt to sign the safeguard. 

The previous France right-back disclosed to RMC Sport: "When I was at Bayern, one day a companion called me and said 'you completely need to go to Lens to see an excessively intriguing little player'. 

After only one half, I perceived how developed he was at that point. He played as a protective midfielder in the principal half and was moved to focal safeguard after the break. 

I had a few associations in Lens and inside 48 hours, I figured out how to get a cost, with the additional likelihood to make a little well disposed match with the receipts which would go to Lens. On the whole, his cost would have gone up to somewhere in the range of four and 5,000,000. 

At the point when I gave the dossier to the games the executives, I was informed that it was still somewhat costly for a 18-year-old player. 

After two months, he left for Real for ten million. Varane has no second thoughts about going to Madrid by any stretch of the imagination, I'm certain he's too upbeat, yet for a spotter, neglecting to get the executives to comprehend these things is disappointing when you are certain you have a focal safeguard who could have remained at Bayern for 10 to 12 years!
