Real Madrid have announced that defender Raphael Varane has committed his future to the club by signing a new deal.

A statement on Real's official website said: "Real Madrid announce the extension of the contract between the player Raphael Varane and the club until June 30, 2020."

Varane moved to the Spanish giants from Lille back in 2011.
