Agent Jorge Mendes apparently met with Pep Guardiola at a Munich restaurant last week to discuss a potential €40 million deal to send Real Madrid defender Raphael Varane to Bayern Munich.

"It was surprising," said Carlo Ancelotti. "As I did not know Varane's agent was Mendes. I spoke with Varane's agent three days ago, and it was someone else, not Jorge Mendes. So I was surprised. But Varane is a Real Madrid player for a long time."
