Manchester United are reportedly preparing to take advantage of any opportunity to sign Real Madrid midfielder Federico Valverde should the Uruguayan star consider a move away from the Santiago Bernabéu. According to Spanish outlet Fichajes, the Premier League giants remain long-time admirers of the versatile midfielder and are ready to act swiftly if circumstances open the door for a potential transfer.
Valverde, widely regarded as one of the most complete midfielders in Europe, has been a crucial figure for Real Madrid in recent seasons. His ability to operate as a box-to-box midfielder, right-sided winger, or even a hybrid full-back in certain tactical systems has made him indispensable under Carlo Ancelotti. However, Real Madrid’s recent midfield reshuffling, including the emergence of Aurélien Tchouaméni, Eduardo Camavinga, and Jude Bellingham, has led to speculation about long-term roles within the squad.
Manchester United, meanwhile, are looking to strengthen their midfield as part of an ongoing rebuild. The club has struggled with consistency in the centre of the park this season, and Valverde’s energy, tactical intelligence, and defensive contribution are seen as qualities that would elevate Amorim’s side. Reports suggest United are “serious” about pursuing the midfielder and would be willing to table a significant offer should Real Madrid show openness to negotiations.
