&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Raphaël Varane&lt;/strong&gt; is a &lt;strong&gt;new Como player&lt;/strong&gt;. The side from Lombardy, who have already been active in the market with the signings of Dossena from Cagliari and Belotti from Roma, are entering Serie A Enilive with great ambitions, and the arrival of the former Real Madrid star is a clear demonstration of that. For &lt;strong&gt;Cesc Fabregas&lt;/strong&gt;, the Lariani’s head coach, Varane represents a precious element in building a competitive team, capable of aiming for something more than just survival.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The player made his debut at the age of 17 with &lt;strong&gt;Lens&lt;/strong&gt; in the French league, ending the season with 23 appearances and two goals in Ligue 1. His promising start attracted the attention of &lt;strong&gt;Real Madrid&lt;/strong&gt;, who decided to bring him to Spain in the summer of 2011. Under Mourinho`s guidance, his first season was a gradual one with 15 appearances made in all competitions. His playing time increased steadily over the following seasons, especially once &lt;strong&gt;Ancelotti&lt;/strong&gt; came into the hotseat. In 2013/14 season, he won his first Champions League medal, the tenth in the Madrid club’s history, and started in the final against Atletico Madrid.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Varane gradually became an ever-present of the Blanche backline in the following years, remaining a cornerstone of the &#34;camiseta blanca&#34; during the Ancelotti and Zidane reigns.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In the summer of 2021, the Frenchman said goodbye to the Casa Blanca after ten seasons as an mainstay, in which he wore the shirt &lt;strong&gt;360&lt;/strong&gt; times and scored &lt;strong&gt;17 goals&lt;/strong&gt;. At the end of his stay in Madrid, the French international`s trophy cabinet was also full and impressive: &lt;strong&gt;four UEFA Champions Leagues&lt;/strong&gt; (2013/14, 2015/16, 2016/17 and 2017/18), &lt;strong&gt;three La Liga titles&lt;/strong&gt;, and countless other international and domestic trophies.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;e9e0ccd6-3c9f-4071-91fb-19cfec192415&#34; data-image-id=&#34;e9e0ccd6-3c9f-4071-91fb-19cfec192415&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/cc510e0c-9369-4523-9336-ef1f3382a9ca/Sito_HERO_varane_CL.jpg&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;e9e0ccd6-3c9f-4071-91fb-19cfec192415&#34; data-image-id=&#34;e9e0ccd6-3c9f-4071-91fb-19cfec192415&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;During his time with Real Madrid, he also became a key player for &lt;strong&gt;France&lt;/strong&gt;, with whom he won the &lt;strong&gt;2018 World Cup in Russia&lt;/strong&gt;, playing every minute of the tournament and also scoring a goal in the quarter-final against Uruguay.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;090f4c93-76ea-4226-8cd5-75fe1c02a24e&#34; data-image-id=&#34;090f4c93-76ea-4226-8cd5-75fe1c02a24e&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/fd357a79-403a-4a2f-b266-35c676a8b239/Sito_HERO_varane_worldcup.jpg&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;090f4c93-76ea-4226-8cd5-75fe1c02a24e&#34; data-image-id=&#34;090f4c93-76ea-4226-8cd5-75fe1c02a24e&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;After leaving the Bernabeu, Varane moved across the English Channel to &lt;strong&gt;Manchester United,&lt;/strong&gt; where he played 92 matches in all competitions across three seasons, lifting a &lt;strong&gt;League Cup&lt;/strong&gt; and an &lt;strong&gt;FA Cup&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;In light of his career, Como have secured a real coup, signing a World Cup winner and multiple Champions League winner. Varane`s arrival on the lake shore promises to rock the balance of the league right from the off, regardless of a physical condition that needs to be refined following some injuries suffered in recent years.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;The signing of the Frenchman represents a strong signal of Como’s ambitions and other moves will no doubt follow during this summer transfer market. The Como fans can dream with a champion of his calibre in defence: the newly-promoted team from Lombardy are looking to impress all.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;(Photo Getty Images + X Como)&lt;/p&gt;
