🔥🏟️Former Manchester United defender who left the club this summer has been forced to retire after a horror injury

According to a rumor, former Manchester United defender Raphael Varane is in major risk of having his two-year contract with Como revoked just one month in progress.

Varane departed Man Utd as a free agent on June 30 within a cluster of stars. While Omari Forson also cleared path after turning down a fresh contract offer from the club, Brandon Williams and Anthony Martial both left.

Varane was not too eager to land a reported transfer to Saudi Arabia. Rather, the seasoned French player choose to stay in Europe and subsequently signed with Como in Serie A.

Spanish great Cesc Fabregas oversees them, and following their first return to Serie A for twenty-one years, the club started an aggressive summer recruitment campaign.

Apart from Varane, the Italian team signed well-known seasoned stars as Pepe Reina, Sergi Roberto, Alberto Moreno, and Andrea Belotti.

On board were a few rising players such Maximo Perrone (Manchester City) and Nico Paz (Real Madrid).

Varane, who sustained an injury on his debut in the Coppa Italia first round loss to Sampdoria, is one athlete whose left-field transfer has not worked out thus far.

Mass uncertainty surrounds the precise form of Varane’s damage; some sources suggest it is a knee condition while just as many other articles claim it is a thigh issue.

In any event, Varane remains on the sidelines and the latest from Italy indicates his Como career might already be finished.

That follows Varane’s absence from Como’s 25-man roster for the Serie A season, finalized following Friday’s night’s transfer deadline.

As regards ending Varane’s contract

According to Sport Mediaset, Raphael Varane has been removed from the 25 players Como turned over to Lega Serie A for the 2024–25 season.

Arriving in the summer as a free agent, the seasoned French defender of Real Madrid and Manchester Utd suffered injuries before the tournament started.

“Varane got hurt on his Coppa Italia debut against Sampdoria; now, Como is also thinking about ending his contract.”

Como would not be qualified to register Varane with their Serie A team until following the January transfer window.

Rather than wait six months, Como are considering whether to cut the 31-year-old free only five weeks into his two-year contract.
Varane had great expectations for “very exciting” Como transfer.

Varane earlier discussed the Como transfer with the official club media of Man Utd.

The defender acknowledged that playing for Fabregas, who was usually his opponent from their respective times at Real Madrid and Barcelona respectively, was a major attraction.

Moreover, Varane said the Como idea was “very exciting,” even if it seems to have gone bad today.

Two days after marking his arrival to Como in late-July, Varane remarked, “At first, I was intrigued to find out what the project was all about, and then I quickly recognized that it was extraordinary.” ” Different from any other I had been shown, so I was curious more.

“The more I knew about the project, the more intriguing it grew to be, which changed my viewpoint on my intended path. The project shot right to the top of the list once it got underway, and we closed the contract.

“I am rather content. Though there is a lot to do, it is very fascinating. Having a lot of experience at the highest level, it is now rather thrilling to be able to offer that expertise and assist a club in developing itself and perhaps ascend.

“I am meeting Cesc once more, but not as an opponent this time.” His theory of play and his fervent football love truly appeal to me.

“We spoke and it was so simple for us to comprehend one another; hence, I am hoping for rather favorable outcomes. In any event, I am approaching the squad and the club with a tremendous degree of humility to enable their development.
Raphael Varane’s move to Como has turned into a challenging situation just weeks into his new journey. After leaving Manchester United as a free agent in June, Varane opted to stay in Europe, signing a two-year contract with Como in Serie A, where Cesc Fabregas serves as head coach. Como, having returned to Serie A for the first time in 21 years, engaged in an ambitious recruitment drive this summer, securing experienced stars like Pepe Reina, Sergi Roberto, Alberto Moreno, and Andrea Belotti, along with young talents like Maximo Perrone from Manchester City and Nico Paz from Real Madrid.

Unfortunately, Varane’s time at Como has not started well. He sustained an injury on his debut in the Coppa Italia first-round loss to Sampdoria. The exact nature of the injury is unclear, with some reports suggesting it might be a knee issue, while others indicate a thigh problem. Due to this injury, Varane has been excluded from Como’s 25-man roster for the Serie A season.

Reports from Sport Mediaset suggest that Como is considering terminating Varane’s contract, which would make him a free agent just five weeks into his two-year deal. Since Varane is not registered for the season, Como would have to wait until after the January transfer window to register him. Given the uncertainty around his fitness and the potential six-month delay, the club is contemplating ending the contract early.

Varane had expressed excitement about joining Como, highlighting the allure of working with Fabregas and the unique project the club presented. However, his move has not panned out as hoped, with his future at Como now hanging in the balance due to injury and his exclusion from the squad.
