Raphael Varane is a former World Cup winner with France and in a 10-year spell with Real Madrid, he won 18 major honours.
Varane started his career with Lens, but was quickly snapped up by Real Madrid in 2011, where he remained for a medal-laden decade.
He won three La Liga titles, a Copa del Rey, four Club World Cups and most importantly four Champions Leagues.
Varane moved to Manchester United in July 2021, but despite winning the EFL Cup in 2023 and FA Cup in 2024, he struggled with injuries and decided to leave the club at the end of his contract in summer 2024.
In July 2024, Varane joined Serie A newcomers Como 1907 on a two-year deal, but was forced to retire from football after picking up a knee injury at the start of the season.
On the interantional stage, Varane made his debut for France in 2013 and went on to make 93 appearances and score five goals.
During that time he was part of the France squads that won the World Cup in 2018 and finished runners-up in 2022, and also won the Nations League in 2021.
