Los Blancos' defence has been plagued by injuries in this campaign.
The long-term setbacks to first-choice goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois and Brazil international Eder Militao have been compounded by David Alaba also sustaining a cruciate ligament tear.
This has caused the record European champions to consider entering the mid-season transfer market in order to off-set the central defensive duo's absence.
According to Bild, a name that is high on the Real's transfer wish list in this regard is that of United star Raphael Varane.
The Frenchman left the Santiago Bernabeu for the Theatre of Dreams in 2021 after spending 10 years in the Spanish capital, winning four UEFA Champions League titles in the process.
While the Lille native left Madrid regarded as one of the best defenders in world football, the former France international has seen his prominence decline since joining the Red Devils, particularly in this campaign.
It is claimed, though, that Real still hold him in high regard, and that believe that his retirement from international football means he still has plenty of years left at the highest level.

Los Blancos president Florentino Perez is also believed to be keen on bringing him back to adequately replace the sidelined Alaba.
