Real Madrid have no plans of offloading key midfielder Federico Valverde amid speculations linking him with Liverpool, reports Fabrizio Romano.

Valverde has been long-linked with Liverpool, with reports in past transfer windows also suggesting interest from the Reds although nothing really has come of it.

Heading into the new season, Jurgen Klopp’s men are looking for multiple reinforcements in midfield leading to rumours of interest in Valverde yet again.

However, Real Madrid have no intention whatsoever of selling Valverde anytime soon. The Uruguayan international is a key part of the plans at the Santiago Bernabeu and an exit is not contemplated at all.

Valverde has grown leaps and bounds in stature over the past couple of seasons under Carlo Ancelotti, establishing himself as a permanent fixture in the starting XI, be it as a midfielder or on the right wing.

The 24-year-old made as many as 56 appearances across all competitions, racking up 12 goals and setting up seven more for his teammates.

Given the lack of options in attack heading into the new season and increased competition in midfield following the arrival of Jude Bellingham, there is a possibility that Valverde could be used on the flanks more frequently again.

Either way, Los Blancos have no desire to entertain any enquiries or offers for Valverde, who has a market value of €100 million. Furthermore, the 24-year-old is even seen as a future candidate to become the club captain.

So, in case Liverpool are seriously interested in signing the Uruguayan international, they would be better off looking elsewhere as Real Madrid will not let him leave for any price this summer.

Kylian Mbappe marked his 100th UEFA Champions League appearance with a goal against AS Roma, reaching another major milestone in a competition he has dominated throughout his career.

As such, the Real Madrid forward scored his 72nd Champions League goal on Wednesday, moving past club legend Raul Gonzalez on the competition’s all-time scoring list and into fifth place. 

Mbappe surpasses Messi and Raul 

Mbappe reached 100 Champions League appearances against Roma and marked the occasion with a goal. 

At 27 years and 298 days, he became the youngest player to reach that landmark, surpassing Lionel Messi’s previous record of 28 years and 84 days.

As such, Mbappe’s 72 Champions League goals have come across three clubs: six for Monaco, 42 for Paris Saint-Germain and 24 for Real Madrid.

Only Messi and Lewandowski outscored Mbappe

Mbappe’s record becomes even more impressive when measured against other top Champions League forwards during their first 100 appearances.

Robert Lewandowski scored 81 goals in his first 100 matches, while Messi registered 77. Mbappe’s 72 goals place him behind those two players, but ahead of numerous other legendary attackers.

Cristiano Ronaldo remains the Champions League benchmark

Despite moving into fifth place, Mbappe still has a substantial gap to close before reaching the top of the all-time scoring rankings.

Karim Benzema sits ahead of him with 90 goals, followed by Lewandowski on 109 and Messi on 129. Cristiano Ronaldo leads the standings with 140 Champions League goals.

Mbappe’s 72 strikes leave him 18 behind Benzema, meaning the next target in his pursuit of the all-time greats is within reach if he maintains his scoring rate.

Understandably, Ronaldo’s 141 goals remain the benchmark, leaving Mbappe 68 goals short of the record. 

The gap is considerable, but the Frenchman has already demonstrated the scoring consistency needed to climb the rankings, and it won’t be a surprise if he breaks his idol’s record.
