Real Madrid midfielder is expected to play more attacking roles next season.
Federico Valverde has been one of Real Madrid’s most impressive players this season. Despite failing to help his club maintain the league title, the Uruguayan assisted on 11 league goals.
Carlo Ancelotti’s utilization of Valverde’s attacking talents was what made his season stand out as particularly exciting. Valverde, who is most known for his work in midfield, spent the majority of the previous season in a wide offensive role on the right side.
He also did not disappoint, scoring five goals and sending out three assists in 17 games while playing right wing.
And it appears that his efforts have not gone unnoticed, as a recent MARCA report (h/t Madrid Xtra) indicates that the Uruguayan international will remain in attack for the forthcoming season.
Given Barcelona’s increasing efforts to sign Arda Guler, the source believes Real Madrid will not sign any new players this summer.
Fede Valverde will most likely be played in a wide attacking role rather than his preferred center midfield position by Ancelotti as a result of this. The presence of Jude Bellingham, who should play either number eight or number ten, is likely to influence his decision.
Ancelotti is considering converting to a 4-3-1-2 formation in order to include Bellingham into his plans for the upcoming season. However, if he remains with the 4-3-3 formation, Valverde may get the nod on the right side of the attack.
Vinicius Junior is set to play on the left, with Valverde on the right, perhaps freeing up Rodrygo Goes to lead Real Madrid’s attack. If it is successful, it might be a fascinating and profitable formation.
However, if Valverde does not maintain his excellent form in attack next season, Ancelotti may shift Valverde back to his midfield position, resulting in more minutes for Joselu.
