Varane: “I’m treated almost like a youth team graduate”

Raphaël Varane spoke with Real Madrid’s web site about his contract extension which will see him remain at the Bernabéu until June 2020.

“I’m really happy to be able to continue here. I had been thinking about it quite a bit and this new contract makes it possible. I feel happy here and everyone treats me really well – almost though I was a player who has made their way up through the youth teams. It’s a great honour for me and I think I am very lucky to be able to defend the Real Madrid shirt. The new contract represents the confidence the club has in me and I want to continue growing as a player. I have progressed a lot since I joined as an 18-year-old and I want to continue doing so at this great club. I am more mature and I have learned a lot,” the player said.

Varane added that his dream is to achieve success again in Europe. “We’re going to try to win the Champions League again, as well as other trophies. We have a fantastic squad and I think we can achieve it. I’ve been through good times and bad but I feel very proud – I am sure that more good times lie ahead and that I’ll be very happy here at Madrid”.
