Manchester United would be ready to sacrifice Kobbie Mainoo as part of a sensational offer of exchange for the Real Madrid midfielder Federico Valverde. The Red Devils would have put 50 million euros (44 million pounds sterling) on the table for the young talent of 20 years, but the Merengues consider Uruguayan as a pillar of their future projects. Amorim, meanwhile, continues to sow doubt about the role of Mainoo.
Manchester United's daring offer for Valverde (Real Madrid)
According to the Spanish media Defensa Central, Manchester United proposed Mainoo, plus a sum of money, in a daring attempt to recruit Valverde. The English midfielder found himself behind Bruno Fernandes in the hierarchy of Amorim, which aroused a certain frustration as to his lack of playing time. Real Madrid, however, does not envisage the agreement, Valverde being considered untouchable in his project.
Man UTD: few options for the midfielder despite extravagant expenses
Manchester United spent more than 200 million pounds sterling this summer to strengthen its attack, but questions remain concerning the midfielder. Mainoo had been mentioned for lending departures before the season, with interests from Newcastle, Bayern Munich and Naples. Today, the will of the Red Devils to include it in an exchange suggests thatMorim is not convinced of its immediate value for the team and wishes to recruit Valverde to strengthen the workforce.
Mainoo still believes that his long -term future could be in Old Trafford, but wants to play regularly, especially in the World Cup period. Real Madrid, on the other hand, is closely monitored to replace the duo Luka Modric-Toni Kroos, who left at the start. Despite its potential, the position of the Merengues is clear: Valverde is intransferable and is preparing to become a captain.
Manchester United stagnates in 14th place and desperately needs solutions to avoid a new disappointing season. Amorim will have to stabilize its results while managing frustrated talents like Mainoo. For its part, Madrid will continue to monitor young fields in the field, but should not give in on Valverde de soon.
