Press reports have circulated that Manchester City wants to sign one of Real Madrid’s “angry” stars in the upcoming summer transfer period.
According to Fichajs, a website specializing in transfer news, Pep Guardiola wants to sign Fede Valverde, who does not seem satisfied with the way things are going at Real Madrid.
Guardiola aims to bring a strong midfielder to City, especially with Rodri’s injuries, and believes that Valverde can play this role.
Initially, the deal seems very complicated, as the Uruguayan star’s contract with Real Madrid still extends until the summer of 2029 with a penalty clause of one billion euros.
Manchester City is betting on one thing to conclude this deal, which is Valverde’s desire himself, as it is expected that he will welcome leaving Real Madrid in light of what he is suffering from this season from a major change in positions.
Valverde’s wife had come out and criticized coach Carlo Ancelotti for playing her husband in the winger position and not in his usual position in midfield, and it was clear that the player’s levels declined and he was angry about the constant change in positions in various matches.
City’s management allocated 70 million euros to sign Valverde, and there are doubts that Such a figure may be acceptable to Real, but some recent reports have said that the management will have to sell a player for a large sum to balance the accounts, which opens the door to accepting the English offer as well.
It is worth noting that since returning from his loan to Deportivo La Coruna in 2018, Valverde has played 275 matches in all competitions and achieved many individual titles, in addition to scoring 24 goals and making 25 others.
