Manchester United are reportedly lining up a €100 million move for Federico Valverde, who could leave Real Madrid next summer.
According to Fichajes, Federico Valverde is a big target for Manchester United ahead of next summer. The Red Devils are reportedly prepared to offer €100 million for the Uruguayan midfielder, with the report stating there are problems in the background between the midfielder and Real Madrid boss Xabi Alonso.
Manchester United are in the market for a new midfielder with quality that elevates the team to another level. Names like Elliot Anderson, Carlos Baleba and Adam Wharton have been mentioned as potential targets for the Red Devils, as they seem destined to sign a top-notch central midfielder next summer.
Federico Valverde was a target for Manchester United, and the club are now ready to explore a move for the Uruguayan. The report states, there are problems in the background between the midfielder and Real Madrid boss Xabi Alonso, which could pave the way for a sale.
Manchester United are reportedly willing to offer €100 million to test Real Madrid’s resolve. Whether that amount would prove enough remains to be seen, as Real Madrid are aware of the widespread interest in the 27-year-old utility man in the market.
Manchester United could potentially offer a big chance to Valverde to make his mark in the Premier League and play alongside former Real Madrid star Casemiro. However, Florentino Perez could be the catalyst in any outward movement, given how much the supremo likes Valverde and considers him of huge importance to the squad.
Will Federico Valverde leave Real Madrid?
The report emphasises on the problems between Valverde and Alonso, which may have stemmed from the fact that recently Vinicius Junior also has similar issues in the background. The claims on the 27-year-old utility man remain unconfirmed at the moment, which may make the Manchester United offer a rumour of sorts.
Meanwhile, Manchester United are not the only team interested, as Manchester City are keen to sign Valverde for their midfield, while Chelsea are also eager. Real Madrid are also in the hunt for a top-draw midfielder with reported interest in Alexis Mac Allister and Enzo Fernandez, as such an arrival could pave the way for the Uruguayan to depart if he feels like taking a big opportunity elsewhere.
