According to a sensational report from Spain, Manchester United are ready to submit a €100 million bid for Real Madrid midfielder Federico Valverde.
The Uruguayan international is one of Los Blancos‘ most important players, and his current contract with Carlo Ancelotti’s club does not expire until 2029.

But according to Fichajes, Manchester United will test Real Madrid’s will with a €100 million bid this summer.
The Spanish publication claims that Ruben Amorim has set his sights on an ambitious transfer for Valverde, while Man Utd are chasing a new central midfielder.
Christian Eriksen, Kobbie Mainoo and Casemiro could all leave Old Trafford during the 2025 summer transfer window, with the Red Devils aiming to significantly strengthen their midfield ahead of the new season.
Crystal Palace star Adam Wharton has been linked with a move to Man Utd in recent weeks, but the 13-time Premier League champions have now reportedly turned their attention to Valverde.

Man Utd’s alleged interest in Valverde follows speculation that Real Madrid will try to sign United captain Bruno Fernandes for €106 million.
The 30-year-old has been one of the Premier League’s top players since joining Old Trafford in January 2020, and Real Madrid are said to see him as a suitable candidate to succeed club legend Luka Modrić at the Santiago Bernabéu.
Fernandes has two years left on his current contract with Man Utd, and Ruben Amorim has insisted that he has no plans to let the Portuguese star leave this summer.
However, a transfer deal involving Valverde and Fernandes could be possible according to recent reports, and Man Utd are unlikely to have the financial space to sign the Uruguayan unless at least one key player is sold.
