In recent weeks, the Spanish press seems to reveal an internal crisis on the side of Real Madrid. If the Madrid club is at the top of the La Liga standings and well on its way to qualifying for the Champions League, everything is not all rosy and Xabi Alonso is at the center of the debates, even to the point that a hasty departure during the season could not be ruled out. The reason? A fairly tumultuous relationship with certain locker room executives, including Vinicius Jr.
But the Brazilian is not the only one cited as a player at odds with his coach. This is particularly the case of Federico Valverde. The Spanish press revealed in particular that he did not get along with his trainer and had difficulty with his management methods. Rumors that the player had recently decided to deny on his social networks. “After a week during which a lot of things were said, we are more united than ever. Having Vini and Mbappé is a chance, but to have the best club in the world is an honor. For my part, I am working to get back to my best level. The coach has always been by my side, supporting me and doing everything for me to continue to progress and help the team. It’s not always easy, but the staff and players are more united than ever”he wrote on his social networks after the victory against Olympiacos.
Valverde thinks about Manchester United
According to internal sources, Xabi Alonso would have taken the initiative to have a private meeting with the 27-year-old midfielder. Hence the player’s message on his networks a few hours later. But according to exclusive information from MirrorFederico Valverde just smoothed out his communication. Because the player no longer really sees himself evolving under the orders of Xabi Alonso at Real Madrid. As proof, he would have leaked a desire to leave for… Manchester United.
The English media explains that Federico Valverde considered joining Manchester United if his relationship with Xabi Alonso continued to deteriorate. And obviously, the player is very appreciated by Ruben Amorim and the Red Devils, who would have the means to align with his market value. But a transfer remains very premature at this stage, especially since relations between the Mancunians and the Madrilenians in the transfer window have not been in good shape since the De Gea flop a few years ago. But this information revealed in the English press and the timing are certainly not trivial.
