Despite considerable interest in the versatile Uruguayan star, Federico Valverde and Real Madrid are not planning to part ways this summer, according to 90min.

After a breakthrough season, Valverde is regarded as one of Real’s most crucial players, but speculation about his future has arisen in light of the summer transfers of Jude Bellingham and Arda Guler, as well as the ongoing possibility of also signing PSG superstar Kylian Mbappe.

However, sources close to Real have insisted to 90min that they have no plans to sell the 24-year-old. The fact that he has a €1 billion release clause in his current contract that runs until 2027 is used as justification for why they would not consider a sale any time soon.

Other clubs are still interested in him and asking about his availability despite Real’s stance on the issue. This summer, 90min understands that Bayern Munich, Paris Saint-Germain, Liverpool, Chelsea, and Manchester City all inquired; however, none of these informal approaches were met with enthusiasm and were promptly rejected.

The interested parties have also gotten in touch with Valverde’s representatives, but they have been quick to convey that their client has no desire to leave. Valverde doesn’t want to move his family out of Madrid because his wife has just given birth to their second child.

A source close to the player has also told 90min that he one day sees himself as a future Real captain and that he could envision spending the remainder of his career with the Spanish powerhouses, which could mean another decade or more at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Since making his first-team debut in 2018, Valverde, who joined Madrid from Penarol seven years ago, has already made more than 200 appearances.

Two of Saudi Arabia’s biggest clubs in talk with Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah over transfer

Liverpool superstar Mohamed Salah is attracting interest from Saudi Arabia as two of the country’s biggest clubs have been in contact with the Egyptian international about a potential move.

The 31-year-old is a hugely popular figure in the Arab world and it would be great for Saudi Arabia to lure the winger into their league this summer amongst the big names they have already signed.

According to Rudy Galetti, both Al-Nassr and Al-Hilal are looking to sign Salah and have already made contact about a transfer.

The journalist told GIVEMESPORT about Saudi Arabia’s interest in the Liverpool star: “He has definitely attracted the attention of Saudi clubs.

Al-Nassr and Al-Hilal are currently the clubs that have shown the most interest in Mohammed Salah . Contacts are ongoing and both clubs are trying to determine if there is room for negotiations.”

Salah has another contract at Anfield until 2025 and the winger is expected to follow. The 31-year-old is still one of Jurgen Klopp’s key players and will want to be part of the rebuild which starts next season.

The Egypt international could one day play in Saudi Arabia but it’s difficult for Salah to make the move anytime soon as there is still a long way to go at Liverpool.

Liverpool are linked with a summer transfer of Federico Chiesa from Juventus.

Glen Johnson believes Liverpool should opt for Federico Chiesa.
The Reds have signed two players so far in the summer transfer window, spending £95million on Alex Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlali – from Brighton and RB Leipzig respectively.

But Jurgen Klopp could expand his midfield further – especially if Thiago Alcantara actually leaves.

Southampton’s Romeo Lavia is heavily associated. However, Juventus striker Chiesa is also said to be on Liverpool’s radar. The 25-year-old helped Italy win the Euro 2020 title while registering four goals and six assists in 33 appearances for Juve last season.

Newcastle United are said to be among the clubs interested in Chiesa and a £52million price tag has been mooted.

And while the Reds are well-equipped in attacking terms, Johnson – who spent six years at Anfield between 2009 and 2015 – thinks it would be wise for Liverpool to move if Chiesa were available at the right price.

Speaking to Betfred, the former right-back said: “He’s a good player who plays for a big club and has had success at international level.

Not only is he part of the squad but he delivers when he is needed and I think it could be a very sensible deal for Liverpool if they can sign him, if they don’t have to break the bank for him.

“I think he is a player who would improve the Liverpool squad and if they can sign him for a reasonable fee then that is a move I would really like to see happen.”
