Varane was a crucial part of the France side that became world champions five years ago and featured heavily again as they reached the 2022 final just two months ago.
A report in Le Parisien suggested that Varane’s decision was based on wanting to spend more time with his family, as well as the physical and mental demands of an international career.
The Manchester United centre-back has suffered from various injuries since he joined the club from Real Madrid in 2021.
