Cristiano Ronaldo plots move for Real Madrid star, targets Ruben Amorim | OneFootball

Ruben Amorim is interested in signing Fede Valverde, but the deal seems difficult, due to the poor relationship between the Spanish capital club and Manchester United. It all started with the signing of Cristiano Ronaldo, back in 2009.

The news is reported by the British newspaper 'Mirror'. The Manchester United coach, a former coach of Sporting, wants to strengthen the midfield, which has given him so many problems this season. The Red Devils are therefore paying close attention to Fede Valverde, the Real Madrid midfielder.

The player from the blancos has not had an easy relationship with Xabi Alonso, the Spanish coach, and thus Real Madrid would be open to selling the player. However, the first obstacle is the amount requested by the Spanish capital club, which wants 100 million euros for the Uruguayan midfielder. Manchester United, on the other hand, is only willing to go up to 70 million.

It is worth noting that the two clubs do not have an easy relationship. It all started in 2008, due to Cristiano Ronaldo. Sir Alex Ferguson once said at the time: "I don’t think we would get into a contract dispute with those people, do you? Jesus Christ. I wouldn’t sell them a virus. So the answer is 'no'. There is no agreement between the clubs." Remember that the Portuguese star recently had his ban pardoned by FIFA.

The two clubs were embroiled in controversy again in 2015. At the time, an exchange was expected between the goalkeepers of the two teams, Keylor Navas and David De Gea. The deal ended up not materializing due to delays in the players' documentation, which led to exchanges of accusations from both sides.
