One of Real Madrid's most colourful representatives of the 2010s, winner of numerous honours including the Champions League and the World Cup. Saying all this, we mean Raphael Varane, who has decided to retire from football on 25 September 2024. The Dailysports team has put together a profile of the star Frenchman for you.
Raphael Varane roots
He is only half French as his father Gaston was born in Martinique. His mum Annie was born in the municipality of Saint-Aman-les-Eaux, near Valenciennes, on the very border with Belgium.
Raphael Varane trophies
Remarkably, he has more Champions League titles than league titles. He has triumphed four times in the continental tournament with Real Madrid, while he has won La Liga three times. In addition, he also won the FA Cup and the EFL Cup with Manchester United.
He has also done quite well at national team level. Varane is a world champion and winner of the Nations League. Thanks to his triumph at the world level in 2018, he made it to various national teams of the year.
Raphael Varane injuries
Varane cannot be called an ironclad player, as he has spent 702 days in the infirmary - almost two years - since joining Lance's main team in 2010. There hasn't been a season where he hasn't been out for at least a fortnight. His most serious injury came in May 2013, when he was sidelined for five months due to a torn meniscus.
Raphael Varane earnings
Varane was valued on the pitch, which translated into generous financial rewards from his employers. Thus, according to the portal Capology, under his contract with Manchester United, he earned 11.5 million euros a year annually. The total capital of the Frenchman, relying only on salary without bonuses, can be estimated at an incomplete 68 million euros.
Raphael Varane wife
Varane has been married for nine years now, having formed a brotherhood with his long-time lover Camille Titga in 2015. They have known each other since childhood and are now raising two children: son Ruben and daughter Anais.
Raphael Varane family
Raphael has a younger brother Yonatan who plays for English QPR, while his sister Annabelle is a model and competed for the Miss France title in 2019.
