Manchester United is facing a golden opportunity to ignite one of the most notable “bombshells” on the transfer market by [targeting Federico Valverde  from Real Madrid.

According to exclusive information from The Daily Mirror, the Old Trafford side has joined the race for the 27-year-old midfielder’s signature right after [rumors surfaced of an irreconcilable rift between him and head coach Xabi Alonso.

The internal conflict at the Bernabeu is seen as a prime opportunity for the “Red Devils” to lure the Uruguayan star to the to upgrade their midfield line.

To realize their ambition of owning one of the best box-to-box midfielders in the world today, Manchester United’s board is reportedly ready to put 80 million euros on the negotiating table.

This is a massive figure, demonstrating the great determination of the red half of Manchester. However, United’s ambitions are hitting a major roadblock from Real Madrid’s top brass.

Despite the reportedly strained relationship—”neither rice nor soup tastes good”—between the player and the coach, Los Blancos remain extremely firm in negotiations.

Specifically, Real Madrid **firmly states that they will not let their pillar leave for less than 100 million euros.**

This gives Real the upper hand and no pressure to sell the player at a discount. The 20 million euro gap between Manchester United’s offer and Real Madrid’s demand is the biggest bottleneck in this deal.

Negotiations are expected to become even more complicated in the coming time.
