Raphaël Varane has confirmed that he will be staying at Real Madrid next season.

The 26-year-old endured a difficult 2018/19 campaign, suffering with injuries and inconsistency under three different managers.

But as uncertainty began to surround his future, Varane insists he is looking forward to rebuilding under Zinedine Zidane.

“I’m going to continue here next year,” he told MARCA. “I’m sure we’re going to relive strong emotions.

“We have fought and we have tried hard, but it is true that we missed that spark in difficult moments.

“There are are cycles,” the Frenchman added. “I have not been at my best level, but we will see the best Varane again.

“We have to evolve and Zidane is clear about it. We have to rebuild and be proactive in our change.”
