If media rumors are to be believed, Liverpool has made Real Madrid an offer to sign Federico Valverde.
The Reds made a 90 million euro offer to sign the Uruguayan international last year, but the Los Blancos rejected it,
according to Spanish publication Nacional.
Liverpool has made a decision and is getting ready to make a $154 million bid for a star.
Liverpool has reportedly made an offer of £60 million (about 70 million euros) to ultimately sign Valverde, who may decide
to leave the Bernabeu this summer, according to the Catalan source.
According to rumors, Madrid is putting its attention toward the exit strategy, and players like Karim Benzema, Marco
Asensio, Eden Hazard, and Mariano Diaz have already quit.
Florentino Perez is attempting to earn the money necessary to acquire Kylian Mbappe from French champions Paris Saint-
Germain and may even sell Valverde for a significant profit.
Liverpool has offered £60 million to make the adaptable South American one of the stars of Anfield. The president of Les
Merengues must now decide.
As a result, Valverde, who can play both the right wing and in the middle of the field, may have trouble getting consistent
playing time.
With Real Madrid, the 24-year-old has won every significant competition, and last season, he directly assisted in 19 goals.
The former Penarol player is a complete box-to-box midfielder, and I’d want to see him wear Liverpool’s storied No. 8 jersey.
Do you believe the Reds ought to sign him?
Toni Kroos extended his contract by one year earlier this month to remain in Spain, and now Luka Modric also formally
agreed to a one-year contract with the 14-time European winners.
Jude Bellingham was signed by Real Madrid from Borussia Dortmund for an astronomical sum, and Ancelotti also has
Tchouameni and Camavinga in the park’s middle.

Liverpool dealt huge transfer blow by Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s ambitious summer plan
Sir Jim Ratcliffe continues to wait on the fate of his Manchester United bid, but one of his other clubs could have a role to
play in the transfer business of United’s rivals Liverpool.
Liverpool’s summer transfer plans have been thrown up in the air with reports that Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s OGC Nice could hang
on to midfield target Khephren Thuram.
Thuram, the son of World Cup winning defender Lilian, played his 100th game for the Ligue 1 club last season. His form
brought a first senior cap for France, as well as Premier League interest, with Liverpool continuing to rebuild after losing
several senior midfielders.
Nice endured a difficult 2022-23, finishing ninth and missing out on European qualification. Any suggestions this might
force them to sell one of their key men, however, appears to be wide of the mark.
According to Nice-Matin (via The Mail), Ratcliffe’s club want to keep Thuram for another year. His current deal at the
Allianz Riviera runs until 2025, and Nice appear keen to give him time under their next permanent manager with reports
from the continent suggest interim boss Didier Digard will not continue in the role permanently.
“I want to progress, go on the field, have fun,” Thuram said at the UNFP Awards. “For now, I’m in Nice. It’s going very well. I
really like the club, so I still see myself in Nice. I am very well in Nice.
Liverpool have already wrapped up their first summer signing, with Argentina midfielder Alexis Mac Allister joining
from Brighton. Naby Keita, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and James Milner will not be at Anfield next season, though, while
Arthur Melo’s loan move from Juventus will not become permanent.
“There are noises, I hear, but I’m happy in Nice. I hope to grow with this club. I would like him [Digard] to stay because he
brought a lot to this group when it was in a difficult period.”
Thuram is currently away on international duty with France’s under-21 side, and is not expected to make a decision on his
future until he returns. Les Bleuets are in pole position to reach the quarter-finals after beating Italy and Norway in their
first two group games.
