For many years Raphael Varane was considered one of the best defenders in Europe. However, after weaker performances recently, the Frenchman could leave Real Madrid in the summer. Are there new rumours about a move to FC Bayern?
Almost ten years ago, Real Madrid secured the services of Raphael Varane. For ten million euros, the 27-year-old changed from his youth club Racing Lens to the Spanish record champion.
Since then, the 1.91-meter man has played almost 350 competitive matches for the Royal, winning the Champions League four times as well as three Spanish championship titles. Varane was also one of the absolute top performers at France’s World Cup triumph 2018 in Russia.
In other words, Varane has embodied at least an elevated international level in recent years, sometimes even an absolute world class.
