Newly promoted Serie A side Como are poised to announce the signing of French defender Raphaël Varane on Monday. The former Manchester United and Real Madrid star is set to join the ambitious Italian club, bringing a wealth of experience and world-class talent to the team managed by Cesc Fabregas.
Sky Sport Italia journalist Gianluca Di Marzio reports that Varane, who has agreed to terms with Como, is expected to be in Austria for the team’s pre-season training camp as early as tomorrow. This transfer marks a significant coup for the Lombardy-based club, as they secure the services of a player who has won numerous titles at the highest level of football.
The 30-year-old center-back, known for his exceptional defensive skills and leadership on the pitch, will bring invaluable experience to Como’s backline. Varane’s illustrious career includes multiple Champions League titles with Real Madrid and a World Cup victory with the French national team in 2018.
This move represents a new chapter in Varane’s career and a bold statement of intent from Como. The club, which has been making waves in the transfer market, continues to demonstrate its ambition to climb the ranks of Italian football.
