Real Madrid turmoil giftwraps world-class midfielder for Liverpool
Tensions are high at Real Madrid.
The Spanish capital club surrendered in the title race to Barcelona - losing 2-0 at Camp Nou on Sunday night. And the build-up to that Clasico clash was marred by a training ground bust-up.
Aurelien Tchouameni and Federico Valverde reportedly came to blows - with the Uruguayan taken to hospital for treatment in the aftermath
The row represented a new low in a disgraceful Madrid season - where Xabi Alonso was sacked and player power ran amok.
There is set to be big consequences in the off-season with Fichajes now claiming that both Tchouameni AND Valverde will be handed their papers.
Although the two midfielders boast a reputation among the world’s best the decision-makers inside the Bernabeu are not prepared to tolerate any further indiscipline.
LFC sense "market opportunity" over Valverde
And the report claims that Richard Hughes smells a “market opportunity” in the case of Valverde. The vice-captain remains under contract until 2029 but the fallout in training could open the door to an exit.
