Arsenal probably cannot help but regret not having signed a contract with top star Real Madrid at the present time.
Federico Valverde is one of the top stars of Real Madrid as well as the current Uruguay national team. However, in the past, this player was refused to sign a contract by Arsenal after a week-long trial period.
Valverde has shown his ability since he was young and is one of the outstanding factors of the Uruguay youth team. The young Uruguayan star at that time was given a trial at the top Premier League team, Arsenal. However, the legendary Arsenal coach at that time, Arsene Wenger, refused to accept this talent because he thought it was not suitable.
After returning to his hometown team Penarol to compete, with his talent Valverde once again received a lot of attention from top European teams including Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Chelsea. And then in 2016, Valverde decided to sign with the Spanish giant, Real Madrid and became an indispensable part of the Royal team until now.
In a past interview, Valverde talked about his time at Arsenal and thanked his senior Alexis Sanchez. Valverde said: “I haven’t talked much about this but I will always be grateful to him. When I trained at Arsenal, Alexis Sanchez was there and was one of the very few people who came and helped me. I will always know Thank you and as a footballer he was extraordinary.”
Perhaps it was because of such difficult days that a strong Valverde was forged. The 25-year-old is famous at Real Madrid thanks to his dedicated performances and boundless energy in midfield. Last season, the Uruguay star scored 12 goals in 56 appearances for the White Vultures.
