Como 1907, a club owned by conglomerates of Indonesian Hartono brothers, officially hooked up former Manchester United defender Raphael Varane.

The 31-year-old was obtained free of charge because he was agent-free after his contract at Old Trafford expires in June 2024.

Varane will be with the club, which has just been promoted to Serie A for the next two seasons. He will meet Cesc Fabregas again who is now heading Como 1907.

"I'm going to meet Cesc again, but this time it's not as an opponent."

"I am very happy. I really like the philosophy of playing and his passion for football," Varane said at BBC Sport.

The French national team player has already auctioned off in several big European clubs. He won three La Liga titles and four Champions Leagues in Real Madrid.

Raphael Varane spent three seasons at Old Trafford after coming from Madrid.

Together with the French national team, he helped his country win the 2018 World Cup. Varane packed a total of 93 appearances before deciding to retire from Les Bleus last year.

Meanwhile, Como 1907 returned to Italy's Serie A after 21 years of absence. They again entrusted the manager's seat to Cesc Fabregas who brought a promotional team after ending Serie B 2023/2024 in second place.
