Raphael Varane says goodbye to Como and footballhanging up his boots at the age of 31. Farewell messages could not fail to arrive from his first professional team, Lens, which was also the only French stop in his career, before his fortunate arrival at Real Madrid.
“Son of Racing become legend”begins the first post of the blood and gold. And it continues: “Arriving at the club at the age of 9, the elegant defender and precious man has left an indelible mark on the history of the club and football. We are proud to salute your exceptional career”. In a subsequent tweet, along with a photo of the very young Varane in the team of the time, it reads: “Arriving at Racing in 2002, Varane quickly established himself in the team and signed his first professional contract in 2010”.
