Manchester United are plotting an ambitious move to sign the Real Madrid midfielder Federico Valverde at the end of the season.

The 26-year-old has established himself as one of the best midfielders in the world, and he has been a key player for Real Madrid in recent seasons. He has helped them win major trophies, and he has produced top-quality performances in the big games for them.

Carlo Ancelotti described him as the “most complete player in football” earlier this year. He has been linked with Manchester City and Liverpool as well.

It is no surprise that Manchester United are keen on securing his signature. They need a midfield engine like him, and the Uruguayan International would be an exceptional acquisition. According to a report from Fichajes, Manchester United are planning to submit an offer of around £85 million in order to get the deal done.

It seems highly unlikely that Real Madrid will sanction his departure. The South American midfielder is at the peak of his powers, and they will want to hold onto him for as long as possible.

Furthermore, the midfielder has no reason to seek an exit from the Spanish club either. He will want to fight for major trophies with them consistently. Manchester United are going through a period of rebuilding, and they might not be able to win league titles or the Champions League soon. It will be difficult for them to attract world-class players right now.

In addition to that, Real Madrid are one of the wealthiest clubs in the world, and they do not need to sell their best players. Manchester United are unlikely to be able to tempt them with a lucrative proposal. Last year, Chelsea were keen on the player.

It will be interesting to see how the situation develops. Manchester United need to improve their midfield options during the summer transfer window if they want to fight for trophies next season.
