Latest Fantasy Rumors
Man City looking at him
Manchester City are interested in signing Valverde, according to Fichajes.
ANALYSIS
Valverde is a regular starter for Real Madrid, but the midfielder isn't happy with the position changes he's had to suffer over the last few months, being deployed even as a winger or full-back. Manchester City are keeping close tabs on the 26-year-old, but it's worth noting his release clause is 1 billion euros.
