Manchester United’s Ambitious Bid for Real Madrid’s Federico Valverde
Manchester United is allegedly planning a striking proposal that would involve Kobbie Mainoo along with a financial sum aimed at acquiring Federico Valverde from Real Madrid.
Struggles at Old Trafford
The 20-year-old Mainoo has faced challenges in adjusting to the squad under coach Ruben Amorim. Reports suggest that he even sought a temporary transfer away from Manchester United as the summer transfer window was closing.
Interest in Midfield Reinforcements
United is eager to enhance their midfield options and previously expressed interest in signing Carlos Baleba from Brighton. However, they were deterred by the player’s price tag exceeding £100 million.
Shift in Focus to Valverde
As per the Spanish source Defensa Central, Manchester United has now shifted its focus to Valverde, who is 27 years old and plays a crucial role at Real Madrid.
The report indicates that United is prepared to offer Mainoo along with a bid of approximately €50 million for the talented midfielder. However, it is reported that Real Madrid is hesitant to agree to such a deal in the near future, as they consider Valverde an integral part of their squad.
