Varane has been given the green light to join Como as a free agent. EFE Journalist Fabrizio Romano reports that Raphael Varane has been given the green light to join Como as a free agent. The Frenchman, after the end of his contract with Manchester United, will join the ranks of Cesc Fabregas in his newly promoted Serie A project.
A couple of weeks after the end of his contract with Manchester United, Raphael Varane has been given the green light to join newly promoted Serie A side Como as a free agent. Transfer market expert Fabrizio Romano reports that it will take a few days for the deal to become official because the defender has to process the paperwork through his trusted people and undergo the relevant medical examinations.
The Italian journalist details that Cesc Fabregas, the coach of the ‘Calcio’ side, has been key in convincing the former Real Madrid player. When the Frenchman landed at Old Trafford, he did so in a deal worth 40 million euros and during his three seasons in England, injuries have been depriving him of continuity.
At 31 years of age, the centre-back still has years of football left in him, especially when the main objective of this project is to remain in the top flight, there are no European competitions ahead of him and he will not be as demanding as he was on his previous routes. This move will also mean he will be testing himself in the fourth major league of his career. Only the Bundesliga would be enough for him to have worked in all of them.
Como’s reinforcements do not stop there. The international press reports that Pepe Reina and Alberto Moreno, also attracted by the Italian coaching staff, are not far away from signing for a squad that will be a lot of fun to follow in the coming season. They will make their debut in a week in a friendly against Union Deportiva Las Palmas, followed by another against Cagliari.
