Federico Valverde played down the Liverpool-Chelsea link as the Real Madrid midfielder looks to the future
The arrival of Jude Bellingham to Madrid sparked speculation about Valverde's future
Federico Valverde insists he has no intention of leaving Real Madrid this summer despite speculation over his future.
the teenager arrived for a transfer fee that could be as high as £115 million, making the England midfielder the second most expensive player in the club's history. Toni Kroos is expected to extend his contract by a year at Real and Luka Modric will follow suit, leaving Carlo Ancelotti with superb depth in midfield while Eduardo Camavinga and Aurelien Tchuameni have also pushed for first-choice players.
Earlier in the month there were reports that Liverpool had turned down a £51m bid for Real Valverde, with the Reds hoping Bellingham's arrival could persuade the La Liga side to sell the Uruguayan. Real is reported to have valued Valverde at £85 million.
Both Manchester United and Chelsea have also been linked with the 24-year-old in the past, with Mauricio Pochettino in particular believed to be keen on bringing Valverde to Stamford Bridge in a bid to turn things around for the club. However, Valverde has now spoken out about his future and made it clear that lifting more trophies in a Madrid shirt remains his priority.
"No, no - I'm in Madrid, trying to enjoy every moment and make my name at the best club in the world," Valverde told ESPN Argentina.
"I want to keep winning titles for Real Madrid fans."
After losing Karim Benzema their top striker to Saudi Arabian side Al-Ittihad, Real Madrid are out to the transfer market to make some sales to add up to their current squad and for that matter 5they were ready to go for Chelsea's Kai Havertz but later on, find out that Chelsea's asking price is too high for them.
