According to the famous Spanish TV show El Chiringuito, Manchester City are highly interested in signing Real Madrid midfielder Fede Valverde during the current summer transfer window.
The Uruguayan international is reportedly enduring a challenging period with Los Blancos. His season ended on a bitter note following a heated altercation with teammate Aurelien Tchouameni.
Manchester City are keen to exploit this tension to secure Valverde’s signature, especially since the player is no longer considered “untouchable” at Santiago Bernabeu as he was in recent years.
New Man City manager Enzo Maresca is said to be the driving force behind this transfer target, a vision fully shared by the club’s board. The Premier League champions are reportedly ready to launch a massive financial bid to convince Real Madrid to sell.
The Citizens’ hierarchy believes a €90 million offer will be enough to tempt Real Madrid into a deal. This comes at a time when the financial situation at the Bernabeu is under pressure, and generating such a significant fee could heavily boost Florentino Perez’s summer transfer budget.
El Chiringuito further notes that despite Florentino Perez’s recent public support for Valverde, the midfielder’s future under manager Jose Mourinho remains uncertain. Real Madrid is now genuinely open to offloading the star if a lucrative offer arrives.
