Como made a radical and unexpected decision regarding Raphaël Varane. The Italian team, led by Cesc Fàbregas, did not register the French central defender for Serie A, and there are rumors about a possible termination of his contract. This information was reported by the Spanish publication Marca.
The contract with Varane was signed on July 28, with the transfer taking place on a free-agent basis. Despite the lack of a transfer fee, this was a risky move given the player’s recent high salary at Manchester United and his considerable injury history in recent years.
Varane quickly became one of the team’s main stars but was forced to leave the field after just 20 minutes in his debut match on August 11 against Sampdoria in the Coppa Italia. Since then, the defender has not appeared on the field, and it seems that the injury is more serious than initially thought. As a result, according to sources in Italy, Como is considering the possibility of terminating Varane’s contract, which was set to run until 2026 with an option for an additional year. At present, Varane is not registered for Serie A.
