Following speculations that Liverpool were considering making a move for the Uruguayan international, Federico Valverde has rejected suggestions that he depart Real Madrid this summer.
In an interview with ESPN, the 24-year-old midfielder categorically denied the notion that he will depart from Real Madrid this summer, responding, “No, no. While I’m in Madrid, I’m attempting to savor each moment and make a lasting impression on the top club in the world. I want to keep collecting championships for Real Madrid supporters.
According to 90min, Valverde has been linked to teams like Liverpool and Chelsea in recent days. Although the midfielder is anticipated to play a significant part for Madrid in the forthcoming season, the South American superstar has not refuted these rumors.
Although a transfer to Liverpool would have been feasible, given Valverde’s position at Real Madrid and the fact that the Spanish giants signed Jude Bellingham before the Reds, the Uruguayan was never going to leave Los Blancos for any other team in Europe.
Valverde would have been the ideal midfielder for Liverpool this summer as the Anfield team looks to restructure its lineup. The 24-year-old, however, has served everyone well by addressing the speculations at such a crucial time in the transfer market.
The transfer of Valverde to Liverpool is both fantastic and ridiculous.
As one of the top midfielders in Europe with Madrid last season, Valverde elevated his game to a completely new level. Although a transfer to Liverpool would have been a game-changer, we are all aware that such a move is more based on fantasy than actual reality.
Despite having the ability to sign any player they like, no team in the world can afford to sign a 24-year-old starter from Real Madrid, therefore Valverde’s declaration of his position has greatly expedited the process.
