Chelsea and Liverpool were among the teams that inquire about Federico Valverde but were promptly turned down. Valverde's contract with Real Madrid runs through 2027.
Federico Valverde, a midfielder for Real Madrid, has categorically stated that he will not be leaving the Santiago Bernabeu this summer, despite Chelsea, Liverpool, and a few other teams showing interest.
With the sensational signing of Jude Bellingham from Borussia Dortmund earlier this transfer window, Los Blancos have strengthened their midfield, providing Carlo Ancelotti's team an abundance of talented midfield options going forward.
Bellingham joins a group that already consists of Toni Kroos, Luka Modric, Eduardo Camavinga, Valverde, and Aurelien Tchouameni. Dani Ceballos is also anticipated to sign a contract extension.
90min understands that Chelsea and Liverpool were among the teams to contact the Spanish team to inquire about Valverde's availability as the competition for midfield minutes at Real Madrid heated up. However, both were promptly thrown back.
The 24-year-old is a player Real Madrid do not want to lose, and Valverde has stated he has no plans to quit the club either.
In answer to a query about leaving Madrid for Chelsea or Liverpool, Valverde told ESPN Argentina, "No, no - I'm at Madrid, trying to enjoy every moment and leave my stamp on the biggest club in the world.
"I want to keep winning championships for Real Madrid supporters,"
With nearly 200 games for Los Blancos and nine championships won during his five seasons with the senior team, Valverde has been a vital player for Real in recent years.
It is anticipated that Valverde, who Ancelotti has also utilized on the right wing, will remain a crucial component of Real's midfield with Bellingham, although the manager clearly faces a challenging assignment in ensuring the happiness of all his important players.
But whereas Modric, 37, and Kroos, 33, are nearing the conclusion of their individual careers, Valverde is considered as a crucial component of both Madrid's present and future.
