Federico Valverde is a midfielder that Liverpool is getting set to offer to Real Madrid.

According to the source, Valverde is now a potential summer transfer target for Madrid after Toni Kroos and Luka Modric had their contracts extended and Jude Bellingham joined the team.

It would be very challenging for Los Blancos to reject a €90 million offer from the Reds. The sale of Valverde might also help the 14-time European winners afford to recruit Kylian Mbappe.

From Madrid’s perspective, everything makes some sense, but under FSG, we find it incomprehensible that Liverpool would pay €90 million to sign a football player.

Fair enough, Valverde is the kind of midfielder that would fit Jurgen Klopp’s preferred style of play for his number eight. Additionally, the Reds ought to bring in a number of midfielders this summer (though they have only done so with one).

We don’t know if all of this is just a rumor spread by the Spanish media or if the story has more legs. However, without a fire, there is no smoke.

Let’s not get ahead of ourselves at this time as Liverpool supporters. Despite how much we would like to see Valverde join us at Anfield, it seems like a desire that will never come true, which is absurd considering that Liverpool is one of the biggest clubs in Europe.

Whatever transpires in this narrative, let’s hope Klopp and his staff are working behind the scenes to bolster the squad in time for the start of the upcoming season. We would not tolerate another subpar season at all.

How long we waited until the summer to bring in a top-tier midfielder is almost criminal. Let’s be clear that we need more midfielders than just Alexis Mac Allister and that any new additions there should be top-tier athletes. Enough with the transfer windows being miserly.
