Following his departure from Manchester United, French defender Raphael Varane has signed with Serie A club Como 1907 as a free agent, and will now be playing under the guidance of his new manager, Cesc Fabregas, a former midfielder for Arsenal and Chelsea.
“I’m very happy. There’s a lot to do, and it’s very exciting,” Varane said.
“I have a lot of experience at the highest level, and now to be able to share that knowledge and help a club build itself up and hopefully reach the top is super exciting.
“I’m meeting Cesc again, but not as an opponent this time. I’m very happy, I really like his philosophy of play and his passion for football.
“When we spoke it was so easy to understand each other, so I hope we’ll have very positive results. In any case, I’m coming with a great deal of humility to help the team and the club grow.”
