Real Madrid have reportedly turned down huge offers for midfielder Federico Valverde from an unnamed Premier League side this summer.

Valverde made a total of 11 appearances for Los Blancos in the UEFA Champions League as they scaled past teams like PSG, Chelsea, and Manchester City on their way to the title.

The 24-year-old energetic midfielder has a contract with the Los Blancos until 2027 and appears very content at the Santiago Bernabeu.

According to Gonzalez-Martin, an unnamed Premier League club submitted an offer as high as €90 million, but Florentino Perez turned down the bid, claiming he is ‘untouchable’.

The versatile midfielder has been key for Carlo Ancelotti's side in recent months and passed the 150-game mark against Almeria two weekends ago.

The Uruguay international has been deployed on the right flank in big games by Ancelotti, but his primary position is central midfield.

Meanwhile, Real Madrid believe the defensive midfield position is well-covered as they have Aurelien Tchouameni, Fede Valverde and Eduardo Camavinga.

The Madrid hierarchy expects Tchouameni to play a key role in the starting eleven rather than stay on the bench after spending close to €100m to prise him away from AS Monaco last month.

Valverde and Camavinga have also proven to be versatile enough to play the defensive midfield role.
