Jude Bellingham has labelled Liverpool transfer target Federico Valverde as a ‘machine’ and the ‘MVP’ after his brace during Real Madrid’s comeback 3-2 win over AC Milan in pre-season on Sunday.
Many players are in the USA ahead of their preparations for the new season and La Liga giants Real Madrid are no different, with Carlo Ancelotti’s side playing out a thrilling game against AC Milan.
Despite the Serie A giants going 2-0 up, they were downed following a second-half comeback from Madrid, including a brace and masterclass from Federico Valverde.
The 25-year-old has transformed into one of the best players in the world under the stewardship of Carlo Ancelotti, hence why Jurgen Klopp is keen to bring him on board this summer.
It has been claimed that Liverpool and Manchester City approached to sign the versatile star, but he seems to have turned that chance down.
You don’t blame the kid if that’s the case because he has won the lot in Madrid colours in recent years, as Liverpool fans will know too well following that final defeat in Paris, and made huge, huge improvements.
Valverde and Bellingham
It’s going to be some partnership the duo are going to build in Madrid over the coming years, as the Spanish club aims to get back to the top.
They got outclassed by Manchester City in the Champions League last season and Barcelona were just too good defensively to stop them from winning their first title under Xavi.
But with Bellingham now on board, the hope is that they are dominating Europe once again and piling up on those La Liga titles.
