The days pass, and the situation continues to become tense within the Real Madrid locker room. While Kylian Mbappé, Vinicius Junior and Jude Bellingham are still in the middle of a storm in Spain, Federico Valverde is also the subject of criticism.
Particularly from his management, who, it seems, did not really appreciate the Uruguayan’s protests throughout the season. He first complained about his positioning as a right-back under the orders of Xabi Alonso, then got into a heated argument with Aurélien Tchouameni, both receiving a fine of 500,000 euros.
Thus, the Iberian media Onda Cera reported at the start of the week that Casa Blanca would be ready to doubly sanction the midfielder by withdrawing the title of captain, and therefore not ruling out a departure from the club this summer.
Federico Valverde, an attitude that no longer works
Federico Valverde, however, became the first contender for the armband after the announcement of the departure of Dani Carvajal. But according to the feedback collected, Real Madrid considers that it is not worthy of the team captain to convey such an image in the eyes of his teammates, and the whole world.
In the event of departure, it will be a question of spending between 100 and 120 million euros to secure the services of the 27-year-old player, under contract until 2029, according to A.S.. Paris Saint-Germain would be among the contenders, as would Manchester City.
