Raphael Varane is close to signing for Como in Serie A, following talks with the club’s co-owner and assistant manager, Cesc Fabregas.
Varane is a free agent after leaving Manchester United at the end of his contract.
The French defender has now agreed to continue his career in Italy.
Football transfer expert Fabrizio Romano tweeted on Saturday: “Raphael Varane says yes to Como proposal! The deal is on the verge of being completed.
“Project approved but it will take some days to review the contracts, then subject to medical, and then, here we go.
“Cesc Fabregas, key for this deal. Exclusive story from June.”
