World Cup winner Raphael Varane calls it a day
September 25 – Former Manchester United and Real Madrid defender Raphael Varane has announced a shock retirement from football at just 31-years-old.
The Frenchman joined Italian promoted side Como in July on a free transfer, but played just 25 minutes for his new club before picking up a nasty knee injury in his debut against Sampdoria last month.
Varane began his professional journey at Ligue 1 club Lens, where he spent just one season in the first team before his 2011 transfer to Real Madrid.
