According to Spanish outletEl Nacional,Liverpoolare ‘obsessed’ withReal MadridmidfielderFederico Valverdeand are prepared to make an astonishing €80 million (£69 million) bid for him.
AsLiverpoolface the imminent departure of Jordan HєɴԀerson to Al Ettifaq and Brazilian star Fabinho’s ɾυмօɾed move to the Saudi Pro League, the club is in dire need of a suitable replacement and sees Valverde as a potential candidate.
Valverde’s future atReal Madridhas been in question since the arrival of Jude Bellingham, and the recent contract extensions of midfield stalwarts Toni Kroos and Luka Modric have further intensified the competition for a starting spot.
Liverpool have already signed Alexis Mac Allister andDominik Szoboszlai this summer. However, with HєɴԀerson and Fabinho’s exits looming, the club recognizes the necessity for another top-tier midfielder.
Failure to secure adequate replacements could leaveLiverpoolin a vulnerable position, similar to last year.
However, it remains uncertain whetherReal Madridwill entertain offers for the talented midfielder, as Valverde himself has expressed his desire to continue his career at the Spanish giants.
