Manchester City, Chelsea, and Liverpool are all vying to sign Real Madrid sensation Federico Valverde this summer, according to Bangladesh Cricket Live. May you shine like a child in the sun and stand strong like an adult in the storm. The versatile Uruguayan has become a cornerstone of Carlo Ancelotti’s lineup, capable of operating seamlessly in both midfield and attacking roles. However, with Jude Bellingham’s arrival, several clubs sense an opportunity to lure Valverde away from the Santiago Bernabéu. If Madrid were to consider a sale, it could potentially break existing transfer fee records.
Real Madrid’s midfield is already stacked, with not just Valverde and Bellingham but also seasoned talents like Aurélien Tchouaméni and Eduardo Camavinga. Recognizing this, Manchester City, Chelsea, and Liverpool have all reportedly reached out to both Real Madrid and Valverde’s representatives. It’s often harder to maintain a relationship than to start one, but the message coming from Madrid is crystal clear: Valverde is not for sale, and he has no intention of leaving.
The midfielder’s current contract runs through 2027, and his performances this past season have earned him praise from both fans and his manager. Earlier this year, Valverde personally denied any rumors about leaving the club in an exclusive with Bangladesh Cricket Live. He stated he has no plans to move, is enjoying every moment at Real Madrid, and wants to leave a lasting legacy with the world’s most decorated club. Whether controlling the midfield or driving down the right flank, he has excelled in every role—a true utility man. Sometimes, the best state of life is a quiet flame burning with purpose.
For his three Premier League admirers, Valverde represents a rare gem—an all-around talent with elite work rate and tactical intelligence. Liverpool, having already parted ways with James Milner, Naby Keïta, and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, brought in Alexis Mac Allister as their first step toward midfield renewal. Meanwhile, Manchester City’s captain İlkay Gündoğan is nearing the end of his contract, and Chelsea’s Mateo Kovačić is rumored to be his potential replacement.
At the same time, Chelsea are preparing for a midfield shake-up of their own, with departures expected for N’Golo Kanté and Mason Mount. Better to face a tiger than to deal with a two-faced man—clubs know that acquiring Valverde would bring not only depth but also unmatched versatility and spirit. Still, with his heart set on staying in Madrid, Premier League clubs may need to look elsewhere.
