Just in: PSG contact Real Madrid midfielder over blockbuster summer transfer

Paris Saint-Germain have taken the first steps towards what could become one of the biggest transfer stories of the summer after making contact regarding Federico Valverde.

According to fresh reports emerging from AS, the French champions have already approached the representatives of the Real Madrid midfielder to explore whether a future move could eventually become possible.

At this stage, the contact is understood to have been informal rather than a full negotiation.

However, the message from PSG appears to have been very clear that if circumstances change at Real Madrid, they are ready to position themselves immediately.

A renewed admiration

It must be remembered that the Uruguayan midfielder has been admired by PSG for years.

Previous attempts to explore the situation never advanced because a transfer was viewed internally as completely unrealistic. Now, though, the situation appears slightly different.

Recent developments within the Real Madrid dressing room, particularly the tensions involving Aurelien Tchouameni, have encouraged PSG to revisit the possibility of making a move for one of Madrid’s most important players.
