Jose Mourinho is eagerly awaiting the return of all of his Real Madrid players for pre-season. But, according to MARCA, there is one player in particular he is especially keen to see: Federico Valverde.
The Portuguese coach has decided to personally handle a situation that has become a growing concern within the club. Even after the World Cup, the tension surrounding the midfielder has not disappeared.
Real Madrid had hoped that Valverde's time away from Valdebebas following a difficult season, one that culminated with the incident involving Aurelien Tchouameni, would allow emotions to cool.
Instead, the Uruguayan became embroiled in further controversy during the World Cup with his national team, meaning the scrutiny surrounding him has continued throughout what has arguably been the most difficult campaign of his career.
Since June 27, when Uruguay were eliminated from the World Cup after losing to Spain in the group stage, Valverde has been on vacation. The break has provided an opportunity to disconnect and recharge before returning to Madrid.
