Federico Valverde has been linked with a move to Manchester United over the last few days, and Real Madrid are now prepared to sanction his departure.
A report recently claimed that Manchester United want to sign the 27-year-old central midfielder from Real Madrid. Now, Fichajes are reporting that the Spanish club is prepared to sanction his departure. Manchester United would be willing to pay close to €100 million (£87m) for him.
Federico Valverde would be a superb signing
The 27-year-old has been exceptional for Real Madrid, and there is no doubt that he could improve Manchester United as well. It will be interesting to see if they can convince him to join the club. He will look to join an elite club where he will be able to fight for major trophies. The move to Manchester United might come across as a step down for him. They finished in the bottom half of the league table last season, and they have been quite poor this season.
Can Man United convince Valverde?
Manchester United can forget about signing a player of his quality if they do not secure Champions League qualification for the next season. If they do, however, manage to get the deal done, it would be an exceptional acquisition. He is one of the best midfielders in world football, and he has been previously described as “irreplaceable”.
It remains to be seen how the situation develops. Manchester United will look to get back to the top of English football once again, and they need elite players to do so. The South American would be an exceptional addition, and he could transform them.
Valverde is at the peak of his powers, and this could be the right time for him to take on a new challenge and move to the Premier League. He will look to establish himself as a key star in English football.
