Liverpool is ready to pay 150 million euros for Real Madrid midfielder Federico Valverde.
According to the latest information from Defensa Central, Liverpool is ready to pay 150 million euros to sign a contract with Federico Valverde in the upcoming summer transfer window. Real Madrid is reported to be attracted by such an offer.
Real Madrid is busy building “Galactic Project 3.0” with the presence of top stars. Valverde is certainly an important part of it, but with the large amount of money offered, the Spanish giant may consider it.
For Carlo Ancelotti, Valverde is one of the “untouchables” in the Real Madrid squad, and the Italian coach has surely expressed his desire to keep this midfielder away from the market. The club may have had to meet that request and may reject offers for the key star. Florentino Perez will surely consider this offer from Liverpool but will only sell the player if they want to leave Real Madrid.
Valverde is in Liverpool’s sights
Valverde would fit well with Liverpool in many ways. He is renowned for his off-the-ball running, strength, speed, and individual technique. He can contribute both defensively and offensively, making him an ideal box-to-box midfielder. Valverde also possesses a strong long-range shooting ability and frequently scores goals from outside the penalty area.
Liverpool often play with a high pressing and high-speed style, emphasizing quick ball recovery after losing possession and launching counterattacks with pace. This system requires players with good stamina, speed, and effective pressing abilities.
Based on these characteristics, Valverde seems like a suitable addition to Liverpool’s style of play. His ability to run off the ball and contribute in both phases of the game would support Klopp’s pressing style. Additionally, Valverde’s strength and speed would help him quickly adapt to the high intensity and physical demands of the Premier League.
In the past, Valverde was rejected by Arsenal after a week-long trial, as Arsene Wenger deemed him unsuitable. After years of effort, Valverde has shown his talent and earned a place in the Real Madrid squad.
Apart from Liverpool, Chelsea is also interested in Valverde. The Blues may consider using Reece James and cash to facilitate negotiations, making the process smoother.
