The Giallorossi are looking for a new defender, and the club has also linked with former Borussia Dortmund player Mats Hummels.
Varane is currently on a free transfer after failing to extend his contract with Manchester United until the end of the 2023/24 season.
His career with the Red Devils has had its ups and downs since joining from Real Madrid in the 2021/2022 season.
He was injured often, but played a total of 95 games and scored two goals in all competitions.
With the English club, Varane presented the FA Cup and the Carabao Cup.
