This has everything of an Arlesienne. During an interview given to GQ In March 2023, Raphaël Varane spoke about his desires for the end of his career: “I will finish my career either in Madrid, Manchester or Lens. It’s certain that I won’t go to another club. But Madrid seems complicated to me, we don’t usually go back there. The most likely thing today is that I will end up in Manchester or Lens,” declared the retired Blues player.
With the story with the Red Devils over, Lens believed its turn was coming through the force of destiny. But hopes, gradually diminished by RC Lens’ new austerity policy, could be definitively extinguished by information from Italy.
Raphaël Varane, one last lap in Serie A?
On the other side of the Alps, Fabrizio Romano and Gianluca Di Marzio agree on the discussions established between the former Real Madrid player and the Como club, promoted to Serie A. Proof that everything is moving very quickly, Raphaël Varane is currently in the Lombardy city to meet the leaders of the Italian club. The team trained by Cesc Fabregas has made the defender trained in Lens its priority target for the summer transfer window.
Under the impetus of its Indonesian owner Djarum, Côme is multiplying the possibilities to avoid playing the supporting role in the championship next year (arrival of striker Andrea Belotti, strong contacts with OM goalkeeper Pau Lopez, etc.). It remains to be seen what Varane’s decision will be. After rumors of an interest from Inter Miami in MLS, Sky Sport also reports that AS Roma is on the case. One thing is certain, his future is moving away from a return to RC Lens.
