After two years at Manchester United, Raphael Varane has decided to leave Old Trafford at the end of his contract. The former Real Madrid defender’s time in the north-west of England has not gone as well as he had hoped, with the Red Devils having a difficult season.
With the 31-year-old’s departure confirmed, he is now free to begin discussing terms with interested clubs like RC Lens. The Artesian club is studying the feasibility of being able to recruit Raphaël Varane on a free transfer during this summer transfer window.

Still no official contact between the club and the entourage of the former French international, 2018 world champion.

Raphaël Varane expected in Italy
Dreaming costs nothing. Como are ready to embrace Serie A again after promotion. The Lombard club is ambitious and is ready to put together a quality team to entrust to Cesc Fabregas. One of the names linked to the Larians Raphaël Varane.
According to Gianluca DiMarzio, the Frenchman is expected in Italy next week. A trip that does not mean a choice already made by the Frenchman, but simply a way of studying and understanding the reality of the newly promoted club. The Italian journalist specifies that Varane will meet the club there, speak with Fabregas and the managers, get to know the city and then make a decision regarding the proposal received.
A probable signing would also depend on the financial proposal of the Italian club since he received a salary of 10 million euros per season at Man United, clearly too high for the coffers of Como.
