Real Madrid midfield gem emerges as latest Saudi Arabia target after Vinicius – report | OneFootball

Real Madrid continue to be a prime target for Saudi Arabian clubs, as yet another key player, namely Federico Valverde, has started attracting interest from the Middle East, reports Mundo Deportivo.

Following their pursuit of Vinicius Jr. with lucrative offers, Saudi Pro League clubs are now setting their sights on another of Carlo Ancelotti’s trusted stars.

Reports suggest that Al Nassr is already planning for the next season, aiming to bring in high-profile reinforcements during the upcoming summer transfer window.

The club is particularly focused on signing an international midfielder, which would require offloading one of their current foreign players to comply with squad regulations.

According to sources, the Saudi club has also included Real Madrid’s Valverde on their list of potential signings, along with Manchester United’s Bruno Fernandes, who has frequently been linked with a move to the Saudi Pro League.

At 26, Valverde is one of the most important figures in Ancelotti’s squad, known for his energy, versatility, and competitive spirit.

He is under contract with Real Madrid until 2029 and remains a vital part of the team’s long-term plans. Given his role at the club, Real Madrid are not currently considering his departure, making any potential transfer a highly complicated deal.

Despite the growing interest from Saudi Arabia, Valverde’s commitment to Real Madrid remains unquestioned.

It remains to be seen whether Al Nassr or any other club can put forward an offer. Be that as it may, though, the chances of Valverde leaving Real Madrid are extremely slim given the importance he holds within the team.
