Raphael Varane has posted a heartfelt goodbye to Real Madrid ahead of his transfer to Manchester United.
It was announced on Tuesday that the Red Devils had agreed a deal in principle to sign the France centre-back, who had a year left on his contract with LaLiga giants Madrid.
United are reported to be paying a fee of £42.7million (€50m) to secure the transfer, with the player set to travel to England this week, where he will undergo a period of isolation before completing a medical.
Varane visited Madrid s Valdebebas training ground on Friday for the final time before departing the club where he won four Champions Leagues and three LaLiga titles among a host of trophies following his arrival from Lens in 2011.
These past few days have been charged with many emotions, feelings that I now want to share with all of you, he wrote on Instagram.
After 10 incredible and wonderful years at Real Madrid, a club I will always carry in my heart, the day has come to say goodbye.
Since I arrived in 2011, together we exceeded all expectations and achieved things I could never have dreamed of.
