La Liga club will not exercise permanent buy option for Real Madrid starlet | OneFootball

Peter Federico is one of the Real Madrid youth players set to return to the Santiago Bernabeu after a loan spell elsewhere.

The young winger spent the 2023/24 campaign on a short-term loan deal at Valencia. He had joined Los Che in order to make a breakthrough in professional football.

Peter ended the campaign with 15 league appearances, although only five of them were starts. The forward, though, could only register an assist in these 15 matches.

With Peter’s loan deal expiring at the end of the month, Valencia have the option to retain his services. In fact, they can acquire 50% of the player’s rights by paying just €2 million.

Valencia won’t activate Federico’s clause

Valencia, though, appear to have no desire to activate Peter’s transfer clause and have informed Real Madrid of the same.

This is according to COPE, which suggests Valencia do not intend to invest in a player who might not provide immediate output.

They are more interested in investments that will yield quick results, as the club desperately look for a turnaround campaign next season.

Return to Valencia not ruled out

However, despite Valencia’s decision to not activate Peter Federico’s transfer clause, the player’s potential return to Mestalla has not been completely ruled out.

The report adds that Valencia might still be interested in loaning Peter for another season, in an attempt to add more depth in the attacking unit.

One thing appears to be certain – Peter’s prospects in the Real Madrid senior team look rather bleak and the player must prove himself elsewhere if he is to make a valuable impact at the Santiago Bernabeu.

To that end, Real Madrid relinquishing 50% of the player’s rights this summer is an idea that cannot be ruled out.
