Federico Valverde has denied rumors linking him with Chelsea and Liverpool and insisted he is happy at Real Madrid.

In an interview with ESPN Argentina, relayed by the Evening Standard, Federico Valverde responded to rumors linking him to Chelsea and Liverpool. And the Uruguayan energy giant has insisted he doesn’t want to leave Real Madrid anytime soon.

Valverde said: “No, no – I’m at Real Madrid and I’m trying to enjoy every moment and make my mark at the best club in the world. I want to keep winning trophies for Real Madrid fans.”

Federico Valverde has established himself as one of the best midfielders in the world since joining Real Madrid from Peñarol in July 2016.

After biding his time for two years, he established himself in the first team. And since then, the 24-year-old hasn’t looked back.

The Uruguay international has impressed with his ability to take on multiple roles, with Carlo Ancelotti bringing out the best in him.

And Valverde registered 12 goals and seven assists in 56 appearances last season. Meanwhile, his market value has risen to €100m and the player’s progress has caught the eye of several top clubs including Chelsea and Liverpool.

Chelsea are likely to lose several midfielders in the summer transfer window. While N’Golo Kante is close to Al-Ittihad, Mateo Kovacic could move to Manchester City.

Additionally, recent reports have linked Conor Gallagher and Ruben Loftus-Cheek to summer departures from Chelsea.

So it’s up to Chelsea to scour the market for reinforcements in midfield. And Valverde has emerged as a possible target for the West London club. But the Blues face stiff competition from Liverpool for the Real Madrid assistant.

Like their Premier League rivals, the Reds are losing several midfielders this summer. Also, Jordan Henderson and Fabinho were terrible for Liverpool last season.

And while Alexis Mac Allister has already joined Liverpool, they need to sign more midfielders for the 2023-24 season.

But Chelsea and Liverpool have their eyes elsewhere, with Valverde happily at Real Madrid. It will be interesting to see who both clubs turn to if they want to strengthen their midfield this summer.
