Rafael Varane, Former Real Madrid And Manchester United Star, Announces Shock Retirement
They say all good things come to an end but the conclusion of a heroic football career came too soon for French defender Rafael Varane. After living the absolute highs of his career at Real Madrid, where he lifted the UEFA Champions League trophies a total of 4 times, Varane announced on Wednesday that he is hanging his boots. The 31-year-old, who joined Italian club Como at the start of the 2024 season, had to make the tough decision because of persistent injury issues.
