Raphaël Varane, a center defense for Real Madrid and the French national team that won the World Cup, has been in talks with PUMA for several weeks. During that time, he trained and played for Real Madrid wearing the German brand’s new ULTRA 1.2 model.

Though not as significant as Neymar’s name, it remains a valid sign. Despite the fact that he is “just” a class of ’93 and thus at the height of his skill, Varane is regarded as one of the best defenders in the world and a sure thing for the teams for whom he plays. He is a valuable complement to Lille’s young star player, who is leaving Nike after many seasons to assist the new PUMA squad succeed.

Varane became the youngest individual to achieve this feat when he won his third Champions League at the age of 24. He has also won four Club World Cups, three Spanish crowns, and the 2018 World Cup with France, when he played every minute.

The Real Madrid star said why he selected PUMA: “PUMA seemed like a natural choice to me; I believe we share many common values, particularly PUMA’s vision of sustainability, which opens up the possibility of collaboration in areas other than football.”

Another major step forward for PUMA. This is another success for a plan that has been working extremely well, both in terms of the quality of the players who choose to wear PUMA and the increase in brand awareness over the last few years.
