In his heartfelt post, Varane reflected on his illustrious career, expressing gratitude to his clubs, teammates, and supporters. He mentioned playing for Lens, Madrid, Manchester, and the French national team, saying:

“I have defended every badge with everything I have, and loved every minute of the journey.”

The retirement announcement follows a decorated career, with numerous accolades, including a trophy win in his final game at Wembley.

Varane’s message concluded:

“Thank you, football. With love, Rapha.”
