# Liverpool interested in Real Madrid midfielder Federico Valverde

[Liverpool](https://readliverpoolfc.com/2021/11/08/steve-mcmanaman-slates-awful-sadio-mane-moment-in-defeat/) are reportedly interested in signing Real Madrid midfielder Federico Valverde.

The versatile 23-year-old has been a [heavily rotated](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/federico-valverde/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/369081/saison/2021/wettbewerb/ES1/verein/418) member of Carlo Ancelotti’s side this season and could look for a more prominent role in the future.

Under previous manager Zinedine Zidane, Valverde was somewhat of a utility man and was an acting right-back against the Reds in an [impressive Anfield display](https://twitter.com/Tactical_Times/status/1382439414626934784) in the UEFA Champions League.

Now according to a report from [El Nacional](https://www.elnacional.cat/ca/esports/reial-madrid-klopp-liverpool-florentino-perez-fede-valverde_666950_102.html), Jurgen Klopp is considering a move for the Uruguayan star.

The report claims that the German manager would ‘love’ to add the [35-cap](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/federico-valverde/nationalmannschaft/spieler/369081/verein_id/3449) ace to the ranks on Merseyside.

This season Valverde has made [12 appearances](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/federico-valverde/leistungsdaten/spieler/369081) for Los Blancos across all competitions.

### READ LIVERPOOL VERDICT

Valued at £58.8million and under contract until 2027 ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/federico-valverde/marktwertverlauf/spieler/369081)), signing the ace would likely be a hugely expensive venture.

Boasting an array of [impressive attributes](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/344644/Show/Federico-Valverde), the man who is predominantly a midfielder would add excellent versatility to Klopp’s squad.

Unfortunately, given the length of the contract and the ludicrous [€1 billion release clause](https://www.eurosport.co.uk/football/transfers/2020-2021/federico-valverde-real-madrid-midfielder-signs-new-contract-until-2027-with-1-billion-release-clause_sto8503597/story.shtml), on this occasion, it would appear only the player forcing a move would make this even remotely possible.
