Raphael Varane has joined Como on a free transfer, signing a two-year deal with the option to extend at the newly promoted Serie A side.
The former Manchester United defender was a free agent following his departure from Old Trafford, where he won the Carabao Cup and FA Cup during his three-year spell.
Varane is Como's latest major signing, following the likes of Andrea Belotti, Pepe Reina and Alberto Moreno, as new boss Cesc Fabregas looks to bolster his squad ahead of the club's first Serie A campaign in 21 years.
Upon signing for the club, Varane said: "I am very happy and enthusiastic about this new project, I can't wait to get started and get to know the team and my teammates.
"At first I was curious to find out what it was all about, and then I realised how special and different this project is to all the others I've been offered, so I wanted to find out more.
"The more I got into the project, the more interesting it became and that gave me a different perspective on what I wanted to do. Once it became real, it went straight to the top of my list, and we were able to get it done.
"I'm really happy. There's a lot to do and it's very exciting. I have a lot of experience at the highest level, and now to be able to share that knowledge to help a club build itself to the top is something beautiful."
A 2018 World Cup winner with France - and four-time Champions League winner with Real Madrid - Varane will bring plenty of quality and experience to Como's backline.
The centre-half could make his competitive debut for I Lariani when they launch their Serie A season away at Juventus on August 19.

Kovacic has nothing after leaving Madrid and he won champions league with Man City and Chelsea, club world cup, super cup, premier league. I don't think you know football
Ok he has won that but thats. What about morata and odegaard you mentioned. Every club after madrid is just a downgrade. Its a simple as that lol

This guy since he left Madrid, he doesn't spend in a club more than 2 years. That's a good deal, though
where else did he play after leaving Madrid?

Maybe he should have called Perez to return to Madrid, we're still in search of a central defender... I could have rediscovered his form

Its always down hill when you leave madrid. Kross is the only one who made the right decision of retiring after madrid. It can never get better after madrid because that is the best team in the world

That's a lie bro, remember Kovacic, Morata, Odegaard, Argen Ruben, Seedorf etc all succeeded After they left real Madrid.

how can you allow varane to leave the club n you keep Evans in the club ? what are you trying to achieve ? Evans is incapable of delivering to the best of the club. Onana as a goalkeeper should adjust or else he must be benched like other players, he is not special
Varane tried his best, but injuries couldn't allow him to continue,also his wage was high and was not reciprocating that because of injuries. It was one of the best decisions to let him go.

Verane is a high wages earner compared to Evans who's earning just a little but almost equally good without injuries.

After this guy leave Madrid, nothing good about his football abilities. I always said Ramos was the one covered his errors.
both of them were bad in the end together with Marcelo. Zidane just refused to bench them

if he stays at rm, he should be captain by now
he would be at bench. RM did good when they sold him
