French coach Zinedine Zidane has always shown a lot of faith in his compatriot, who is now 24 and the first choice centre-back along with Sergio Ramos.
Varane becomes the latest in a string of players to renew their contract with Real Madrid this month.
Marcelo, Dani Carvajal, Karim Benzema, Isco and Marcos Llorente have all signed deals, with Marco Asensio the next to commit his future to the club.
