Liverpool has made a surprising early-summer offer for a Real Madrid midfielder, as reported by Fabrizio Romano. The midfielder, who is anticipated to depart this summer following Kylian Mbappe’s arrival, has attracted Liverpool’s attention with a shocking bid
Liverpool is reportedly keen on acquiring Valverde’s services, despite his recent contract extension, by tabling a substantial €150 million (£129 million) bid for the midfielder, whom they regard as a valuable addition to their squad.
Jurgen Klopp, Liverpool’s current manager, has been impressed by Valverde’s abilities and sees him as a desirable target, even as Klopp prepares to depart at the end of the season.
Meanwhile, Real Madrid is anticipating the arrival of Kylian Mbappe from Paris Saint-Germain on a free transfer, alleviating the need to offload players. However, if Real Madrid were to entertain Liverpool’s lucrative offer for Valverde, it could potentially disrupt their transfer plans.
Valverde’s journey at Real Madrid commenced in 2016 when he transferred from Penarol. Since then, he has rapidly ascended to become a pivotal figure for the club, accumulating 246 appearances, scoring 19 goals, and providing 23 assists.
His importance to Carlo Ancelotti’s squad has been evident in the current season, as he has been a regular starter. In the 2023-24 campaign, Valverde has already made 42 appearances, contributing one goal and eight assists. Additionally, he reaffirmed his commitment to the club by signing a contract extension until June 2029 last November.
