A championship-winning footballer is reportedly ready to move to the "Red Devils," Manchester United, this summer.
Football365, a well-known football media outlet, citing sources from Spain, reported that Federico Valverde, the Uruguayan midfielder for "Los Blancos" Real Madrid, has informed his club of his intention to join "the Red Devils," Manchester United, this summer if Real Madrid continues to have Alvaro Arbeloa as head coach next season.
Valverde is frustrated with Arbeloa and unhappy about the possibility of the Spanish coach remaining as Real Madrid’s manager, and he has already informed the club’s executives.
A source close to the midfielder, who has won the UCL and two La Liga titles, stated, "His message is clear: if the coach stays for another season, he will request a summer transfer to avoid working under this coach."
"Valverde believes that the methods and management system under Arbeloa's leadership do not align with what the team currently needs, and this dissatisfaction has accumulated to the point that he felt compelled to express his clear disapproval of Arbeloa."
"Valverde has told Real Madrid that he will move to Manchester United if Arbeloa remains as the head coach."
Meanwhile, Manchester United plans to strengthen their midfield this summer to replace Casemiro, who is expected to leave, possibly adding more than one player in this position. They have been linked with several midfielders, including Elliott Anderson of Nottingham Forest, Carlos Baleba of Brighton, and Adam Wootton of Crystal Palace. Valverde has also been on the Red Devils’ list of long-term targets.
