Real Madrid extends Varane’s contract

CAIRO – 27 September 2017: Real Madrid announced on Wednesday that the club has reached an agreement with the French defender Raphael Varane to extend his contract with the club until 2022.

Varane will sign his new contract with the club on Thursday at Santiago Bernabéu stadium before showing up to the media to speak about his new contract.
