Raphael Varane is certainly a well-known name in football, France's 2018 World Cup champion and Real Madrid's four-time Champions League champion centre-back, but his biggest problem is his vulnerability. Another point, I have to say that Real Madrid is the best club stage, many players leave Real Madrid are high and low, such as Ronaldo, and Varane and Casemiro, the former has ended Manchester United's 3-year contract and left, Casemiro is now a high-paid player that Manchester United focuses on purging.
The latest report from Italy's Romano,Serie A promotion Madrid have waived the signing of 31-year-old France centre-back Raphael Varane, and the two sides have prepared documents and are ready to sign a 2+1 contract until 2026, with a one-year extension option。 This means that Varane will play in Serie A with Como in the new season. Raphael Varane's early exit from the France national team and the fact that his new team are promoted from Serie A and have no European assignments may help Varane stay fit and stay in attendance.
Varane came through the Lens academy and joined Real Madrid for €11 million in the summer window of 2011 and stayed for Manchester United for a fee of €40 million in the summer window of 2021, but his development did not meet expectations, mainly due to too many injuries and inability to maintain a consistent attendance rate. In the summer window of 2024, Manchester United and Varane ended their three-year contract, and Varane became a free agent.
The 31-year-old Varane, 1.91 meters tall, is a right-footed player, mainly playing as a central defender, and is valued at 20 million euros. Raphael Varane made 32 appearances for United in all competitions last season, starting 25 of them and scoring one goal.
Como's bosses, Huang Huizhong and Huang Huixiang, are originally from Fujian, China, and run the Djarum group, which has been Indonesia's richest man for more than 10 consecutive years。 According to the 2024 Forbes rich list, the two brothers have assets of $26.5 billion (71st in the world) and $25.5 billion (76th in the world), respectively. The Group is mainly engaged in tobacco, banking, electronics, online streaming media, sports, film and television production and many other industries.
Como's boss isCesc Fabregas, he andHenryBoth are shareholders of Como FC and are also the team's small owners. It was mainly Xiaofa's personal persuasion that made Varane not go to Saudi Arabia to pan for gold, but chose to join Serie A promoted Macomo.
