Manchester United are reportedly keen to sign Real Madrid midfielder Federico Valverde, the Spanish newspaper reports Transfers.
After a disappointing defeat against Everton last week, the Red Devils found themselves in the middle of the Premier League. However, after beating Crystal Palace on Sunday, they have managed to move up the table and are now just three points behind third-placed Chelsea.
Before this result, the Eagles were undefeated in the league at home. United continued to produce inconsistent performances this season; As a result, some of the fanbase have raised questions about whether Ruben Amorim is the right man to take the club forward.
Man Utd are still backing him, though, and after overhauling their attacking department last summer, they are now planning to overhaul their midfield next year.
A host of names have been linked with a move to Old Trafford ahead of the upcoming winter transfer window, including Carlos Baleba, Adam Wharton, Elliot Anderson and Angelo Stiller.
However, Transfers states that Man Utd are also keen to sign Valverde and believe the Uruguayan has the necessary attributes to become the perfect option for Amorim’s system.
Valverde to Man Utd
The Red Devils are prepared to make a concrete approach to finalizing the deal if the player expresses his desire to leave the Bernabéu and take on a new challenge in his career.
The South American is still a key player in Los Blancos’ starting line-up and is contracted until 2029, which is why they are in no rush to sell him next year and want more than £88 million if they are forced to part ways with him.
Valverde plays comfortably anywhere in the middle of the park. In addition, he can provide cover at the right back position and on the right flank when necessary.
However, at Real Madrid he has not consistently played in his preferred midfield position, which could motivate him to leave.
The 27-year-old is regarded as one of the best midfielders in the world and would be a big step forward for Man Utd if they were to sign him. However, it will be interesting to see if Amorim’s side manage to lure him to Old Trafford.
