Liverpool prepared to pay £76.8 million for La Liga star. Liverpool are reportedly interested in signing the Real Madrid midfielder Federico Valverde.
According to a report via MSN, Liverpool are prepared to pay a fee of around €90 million (£76.8m) for the Uruguayan international.
The 24-year-old has established himself as a key player for Real Madrid and he was an indispensable asset for Carlo Ancelotti this past season. The midfielder chipped in with 12 goals and 7 assists across all competitions and it seems highly unlikely that the Spanish club will sanction his departure.
Valverde is versatile enough to play as a central midfielder as well as a winger. He could prove to be an exceptional acquisition for Liverpool if they managed to pull it off.
The Reds missed out on the signing of Jude Bellingham earlier this summer and Valverde could prove to be a quality alternative.
The 24-year-old has all the skills necessary to become a top-tier box-to-box midfielder, and working under Jurgen Klopp’s tutelage might help him advance even further.
Real Madrid is assembling a midfield for the future, so selling Valverde would be a significant shock. In the upcoming weeks, it will be interesting to watch if Liverpool makes a specific offer of €90 million for the midfielder.
This summer, the Reds have already acquired Alexis Mac Allister from Brighton & Hove Albion. They have also been connected to players like Manu Kone and Khephren Thuram. It is clear that Liverpool wants to make significant midfield improvements this summer.
