Real Madrid are expected to make moves in the transfer market before the window closes on August 31, yet Fede Valverde will stay with the team for the 2018/19 season.
The Uruguayan midfielder enjoyed a fine pre-season in which he made good contributions in matches against Manchester United and Juventus.
Julen Lopetegui has a fine reputation for working with young players after his sensational spells with the Spanish youth teams, and he has taken a keen eye on the academy products at Real Madrid.
The Spaniard admires Valverde's versatility in midfield, and he's able to excel in the number five position, an area of concern for Los Blancos when Casemiro is fatigued or injured.
Mateo Kovacic was desperate for first-team football this term and left on a season-long loan for Chelsea, and the club are now facing a battle to replace him this close to the transfer deadline.
Real have always had confidence in Valverde behind the scenes too, since he arrived in 2016 it's been widely expected that he would break into the senior team once the Toni Kroos and Luka Modric era comes to an end.
This is a confidence that is shared by the player's agent, Gerardo El Pelado Rabajda, who believed it was inevitable that a first-team debut would be forthcoming.
"I always thought he would be a first-team player," he admitted to MARCA.

Valverde today is a good player, if they bet on him and give him confidence, in a year he will be a great player and in 2 years he will be a crack ... it depends on the treatment they give him in Madrid.
Lol u was right

Kovacic goes but there is no problem, we have a 20 year old Fede who was a substitute. If at the end Mayoral was a substitute and now is our revulsive. To the champions go 4 no? I pray that Valencia and Sevilla have a bad season.

Go joke template. It was not enough to finish the last league and it is a pity that this year we will have to suffer to enter the Champions League.

This kid looks like a Cholo player. It would be good to see the performance that the Argentine coach could get.

Honestly, he points out ways but currently he is not a great player. Last year at Depor he was a substitute for Borges and Guilherme, which is to say

It's fine but I'm worried that on the web of Madrid they have put Courtois on the 25th. With keylor and the Belgian, Kiko should leave if or if
