Varane aims for new heights
“At first I was curious about what this project was about, but then I immediately saw that it was special, different from all the others I had been offered, so I wanted to know more. The more I learned about the project, the more interesting it became, which gave me a different perspective on what I wanted to do. Once the project was launched, it went straight to the top of the list and we managed to close the deal.”declared the 2018 world champion.
