Como decide not to register Varane amid retirement speculation

 Cesc Fabregas' Como have become one of the main attractions in Italian football, especially for the Spanish public. The coach has snapped up several compatriots and brought in other players with a recognisable past in La Liga, such as Varane. However, the Frenchman's situation has been complicated in recent hours in Italy.

The centre-back had to be substituted in the 23rd minute of the match against Sampdoria in what was his debut with his new team. An injury that seems to be going on for a long time. The club decided not to register the French defender in the squad with the closure of the market, hence the suspicion that these physical problems point to be more serious than expected.

According to 'Marca', there is speculation in Italy that Varane may retire after this latest drastic decision by Como not to register the centre-back, which could end with this latest chapter after just 22 minutes played.

The Italian side were already taking some risks by bringing in the player, who has suffered several major injuries in recent years. At the age of 31, the Italian press is waiting for an official version to rule out all speculation about his future.
