Real Madrid have confirmed on their official website that Federico Valverde has penned a long-term contract to extend his stay with the club. It has been revealed that the Uruayuan midfielder has penned a new deal that will keep him at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium until the summer of 2027.
Valverde’s Impressive Form At The Bernabeu Last Season
Valverde had another solid campaign with Los Blancos in the previous campaign as he produced a run of impressive displays for them at the centre of the park. The Montevideo-born talent registered three goals and one assist in 33 matches for the Madrid outfit last season across various competitions.
The 23-year-old gave a good account of himself after he averaged 1.0 tackles, 0.9 interceptions, 0.9 shots, 0.9 key passes and 1.0 dribbles per game in La Liga. Valverde was also a tidy distributor of the ball because he made 89% of his attempted passes in league football last season (stats via whoscored).
Los Blancos boss Carlo Ancelotti is a wise manager who knows how valuable Valverde can be for his team when he hits his peak in the coming seasons. The Uruguay international has already helped the Madrid side win the league title once, so he has the right mindset to help them reclaim their spot at the top of the Spanish football pyramid.
Valverde Pens Long-Term Contract With Los Blancos: Good Move For Both Parties?
Valverde can influence the game at both ends of the field. He loves a tackle in midfield and can make life difficult for the opposition by not giving them a moment’s rest. The 29-time Uruguay international can even create plays for others around him and can score the odd goal from time to time.
The Real Madrid midfielder is maturing into a top talent, so Los Blancos have done well to tie him down to a fresh, long-term contract. Valverde is good enough to secure a regular starting spot in Ancelotti’s first XI and could help the Madrid outfit challenge for some major silverware in the coming seasons.
At 23, Valverde’s best years are ahead of him, so Ancelotti can reap the benefits of having him at the club for the long run. With all things considered, the Uruguayan’s recent contract extension seems like a good move for both the player and Spanish club as they look to collectively bring even more success back to the Bernabeu in the years to come.
