Real Madrid turmoil giftwraps world-class midfielder for Liverpool | OneFootball

Tensions are high at Real Madrid.

The Spanish capital club surrendered in the title race to Barcelona - losing 2-0 at Camp Nou on Sunday night. And the build-up to that Clasico clash was marred by a training ground bust-up.

Aurelien Tchouameni and Federico Valverde reportedly came to blows - with the Uruguayan taken to hospital for treatment in the aftermath

The row represented a new low in a disgraceful Madrid season - where Xabi Alonso was sacked and player power ran amok.

There is set to be big consequences in the off-season with Fichajes now claiming that both Tchouameni AND Valverde will be handed their papers.

Although the two midfielders boast a reputation among the world’s best the decision-makers inside the Bernabeu are not prepared to tolerate any further indiscipline.

LFC sense "market opportunity" over Valverde

And the report claims that Richard Hughes smells a “market opportunity” in the case of Valverde. The vice-captain remains under contract until 2029 but the fallout in training could open the door to an exit.

“The situation appears to have irreversibly affected their future at the club,” the report reads.

“Barring any unexpected turn of events, both players are expected to leave in the upcoming summer transfer window.

“Liverpool FC has emerged as one of the main clubs interested in Federico Valverde.

“The English club has been following the Uruguayan for some time and sees this situation as a market opportunity.”

Valverde is one of the world's best

Valverde, 27, would be absolutely perfect for Liverpool. He is an all-action midfield dynamo who has got a goal in him too. The South American is even capable of filling in at right-back - as he has done on many occasions for his club.

A midfield shakeup could be coming to Anfield in the coming transfer window - with Alexis Mac Allister and Curtis Jones both under scrutiny. Macca, 27, could be allowed to leave given his contract expires in 2028 and no talks are underway for a new one.

And Jones, 25, is out of contract in 2027 and the club look set to entertain offers for the homegrown star with Inter, Aston Villa and Tottenham all thought to be sniffing around.
