French defender Raphaël Varane, who recently retired after an injury, admitted that he almost ended his career in the summer of 2023.
Raphael Varan"At the beginning of my last season at Manchester United, I already told myself that I wanted to finish with football. That didn't happen, and it was a very eventful summer. I was looking for something meaningful, and that's how I found Como.
At United, I ended my career by winning the FA Cup, but I already knew that the club's project was not for me. The Como project was unique - it was not exotic or financially driven, but from a human point of view, it made sense and still makes sense because I plan to continue working with the club," Varane told L'Equipe.
It will be recalled that at the age of 31, the Frenchman joined the Serie A newcomer as a free agent, where he played only 20 minutes in the cup match against Sampdoria.
