Liverpool willing to submit crazy £132million offer to finally sign star – Report
Liverpool needed a quality midfielder last summer and they made a big move late in the transfer window.
Earlier this month, we covered a story (via AS) claiming that the Reds offered 100 million euros to hire the services of Federico Valverde but Real Madrid opted to hold onto him.

More recently, reports in the media suggest that the Merseysiders are preparing a crazy offer to finally sign the Uruguayan international.
According to Spanish source, Fichajes, Liverpool are willing to submit an offer worth £132m (150 million euros) to sign the South American, who has been brilliant for the Los Blancos.
The media outlet claim Real Madrid are still not interested in offloading the 24-year-old midfielder but the above mentioned offer would be impossible to turn down.
Such a massive sale would help them attain funds to lure Jude Bellingham and may stop the Reds from pursuing the England international.
As far as the player’s preference is concerned, it is reported that Valverde, who has a long term contract at the Bernabeu, has no intention of leaving the club anytime soon.
The ex Penarol man is a versatile midfielder, who has mainly played on the right flank for Real Madrid because they have ample depth in the center park with players like Kroos, Modric, Tchouameni and Camavinga around.
The 44-capped international set up the winning goal in the Champions League final against Liverpool last term and as far as this season is concerned, so far, he has netted 4 goals and provided 2 assists in 8 starts in all competitions for the European champions.
Have your say – Should Liverpool offer £132m to finally sign Federico Valverde or should Klopp break the bank to lure Bellingham?
No all day long. It’s just hype about Bellingham, anyway he’s going to Real Madrid. Liverpool have other options which I think Klopp prefers, to sign a decent player that he can develop himself. Of course Bellingham isn’t the finished product, but there is always someone else. The money is just too ridiculous and I don’t believe FSG will ever agree to pay so much whether they can afford it or not, it’s just not Liverpool.
Most of these glamour teams; Real Madrid, PSG, Manchester City and Man United have proven they can become really good by buying the best players in the world, but it’s not Liverpool. I prefer Liverpool’s approach of developing a player as this really shows how good a manager and a club is. I don’t think Guardiola or Carlo Ancelotti would be that successful if they managed Liverpool on a limited budget. When Ancelotti managed Everton he did terribly losing a lot of games and his style of management doesn’t suit the PL because he couldn’t buy the best players in the world.
