Rio Ferdinand, a top-class defender in his own right, recently made headlines with his opinions on modern centre-backs.
- He praised William Saliba for acknowledging his brilliance during his playing days and has transitioned into punditry, sharing insights on the state of defending today.
- In a recent discussion with Mail Sport, Ferdinand compared Raphael Varane and John Terry, ultimately selecting Varane over the Chelsea legend.
- While Terry is celebrated as a Chelsea icon, Varane shone at Real Madrid before his time at Manchester United.
- Unfortunately, Varane’s stint at Old Trafford didn’t pan out as expected, leading to his release at the end of last season, after which he joined Como in Italy.
