Back in Madrid, the record European champions have a new midfield hero in academy graduate Valverde who has slowly become an integral player for Madrid over the past few months.

The Uruguay international has managed to squeeze himself into coach Zidenine Zidane ‘s midfield mostly at the expense of 2018 Ballon d’Or winner Luka Modric who has been starting most of the action from the bench.

His fine form, according to reports has made Madrid shelve their interest for Pogba at the moment as they believe his arrival may hinder the growth of the Uruguayan midfielder. Another reason is that Pogba will be an expensive buy with nearly the same qualities as their 21-year old sensation.

The French international is still keen on leaving United in January with Juventus still interested in his services.
