Manchester United are willing to break the bank and fork out €100 million to sign Real Madrid mainstay Federico Valverde.
According to a report from Fichajes, Manchester United want to reinforce their midfield this summer, and they are interested in the services of Real Madrid’s Federico Valverde. The Red Devils want to make him a key part of their new project and are willing to fork out €100 million to bring him to Old Trafford.
Valverde joined the Spanish giants from Penarol back in 2016. He started with their B team and slowly worked his way into the senior side. He has only gone from strength to strength since getting promoted to their first team.
The 26-year-old has been one of their mainstays under Carlo Ancelotti. While he prefers playing in central midfield, the Italian manager has deployed him in various roles over the years. His versatility across the right flank and midfield makes him an invaluable asset to the team.
His performances have caught the attention of Manchester United, who want to reinforce their squad this summer. They will look to undergo a major overhaul after a disappointing campaign and will prioritise adding more quality to their midfield.
United to push for Real Madrid superstar
With Casemiro and Christian Eriksen likely to be on the move, they certainly need to have more options in the centre of the park. The Red Devils have identified Valverde as an ideal fit for their project. His versatility and his abilities could come in handy.
He could easily fit into Ruben Amorim’s system, and they are planning to make an offer worth €100 million to secure the services of the Uruguayan midfielder. The Manchester-based giants believe he could end up being one of the leaders of their project. More importantly, he can provide an immediate boost while also laying the groundwork for long-term success.
But they are not going to find it easy to sign the 26-year-old. Real Madrid have no intention of parting ways with him, and with his contract running until 2029, they don’t really need to worry about anything. While United’s offer is significant, it might still not be enough to convince Los Blancos to sell one of their most important stars.
