France defender Raphael Varane has joined newly-promoted Serie A side Como. The 31-year-old was a free agent after his contract at Manchester United ended this summer. Varane has signed a two-year deal with the Italian club, marking a new chapter in his illustrious career.
Raphael Varane, a 2018 World Cup winner, boasts an impressive resume, having won three La Liga titles and four Champions League trophies during his time at Real Madrid. After a three-year stint at Old Trafford, where he was a key figure in Manchester United’s defense, Varane is set to bring his wealth of experience to Como.
Como, back in Italy’s top flight after a 21-year absence, has made significant moves to strengthen their squad. The club appointed former Arsenal and Chelsea midfielder Cesc Fabregas as their head coach following their promotion.
Expressing his enthusiasm about the move, Varane said, “I will meet Cesc again, but this time not as an opponent. I am very happy, I really like his playing philosophy and his passion for football.”
With 93 international caps to his name before retiring from international football last year, Varane’s addition to Como is seen as a major boost. Fans and analysts alike are eager to see how his presence will influence the team’s performance in the highly competitive Serie A.
