Federico Valverde has insisted that he has no intention of leaving Real Madrid this summer despite reported interest from Chelsea and Liverpool. The 24-year-old midfielder has been heavily linked with a move to the Premier League following the addition of Jude Bellingham at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Los Blancos wrapped up a deal for the teenager earlier this week, becoming the second most expensive signing in the club's history after arriving for a fee which could rise to £115million. Toni Kroos and Luka Modric are both expected to sign one-year extensions in the Spanish capital, while Dani Ceballos is said to be close to penning a three-year contract.
Carlo Ancelotti will be treated to a wealth of midfield options next season, with Eduardo Camavinga and Aurelien Tchouameni also pushing for places in the starting lineup. As a result, Valverde has faced a somewhat uncertain future at Real Madrid recently, but he's admitted that he has no plans to leave.
