Raphael Varane retires from football.
The 31-year-old defender decided to end his professional career. It is reported that this could be related to several injuries the Frenchman has recently suffered.
During the summer transfer window, the former player of "Lance," "Real," and "Manchester United" moved to Como as a free agent. He debuted for his new team in the Italian Cup match against "Sampdoria" (1:1, 3:4 with penalties) but was replaced in the 23rd minute of the game due to a hip injury.
As part of Real Madrid, Varan won the Spanish Championship, the country's Super Cup, and the European Super Cup 3 times, the Champions League and the World Club Championship 4 times, and the Spanish Cup once. With Manchester United, Raphael won the FA Cup and the League Cup.
As a player for France, the defender won the 2018 World Cup and the 2021 Nations League.
