RC Lens dreams of a historic transfer, “it will take big gifts”

A few days ago, Raphaël Varane opened the door to a return to RC Lens in order to come full circle and end his career with his training club. Asked about this hypothesis, Franck Haise, manager of the Sang-et-Or, is however aware that this project promises to be very complicated to carry out.

After experiencing a second final of world Cup, Raphael Varane ended his international career after having known 93 selections in Blues. The central defender is only 29 years old, but he explained that he was mentally and physically exhausted by the pressure and the series of matches. As a result, Raphael Varane also think about when he will hang up his cleats. And in this perspective, it does not close the door to a return to RC Lens.

” I will finish my career either in Madrid, or in Manchester, or in Lens. It is sure that I will not make another club. But Madrid, it seems complicated to me, we don’t usually come back to it. The most likely today is that I finish Manchester or Lens (…) The closer we get to 30, the more we think about it. Since I was seven years old I have been playing football, so inevitably there is a little apprehension but no fear. Like every important decision in life, it requires careful thought and it will be done step by step “, confided the 1998 world champion to QG.
