Real Madrid youth winger to join Valencia on loan with a buy option, agreement reached
Regarded as one of the hottest prospects in the Real Madrid academy, Peter Federico has been in the news lately.
The youngster has been linked with a loan move to Valencia, as he looks to gain regular game-time at the highest level of football.
Real Madrid are open to allowing the youngster to leave the club on a loan deal, but amid Valencia’s financial woes, the move was delayed.
Real Madrid reach agreement with Valencia
However, Mario Cortegana of The Athletic has come up with a fresh update on the future of Peter Federico.
It appears Real Madrid have reached an agreement with Valencia regarding the loan of Peter Federico.
The youngster is free to join the Spanish outfit on a loan deal until the end of the season. Valencia, meanwhile, will also have the option to retain his services permanently.
Valencia, though, are not obligated to utilise the activate the purchase clause, meaning there is every chance the player may return to Santiago Bernabeu in the summer.
Deal reliant on Koba’s sale
Valencia, though, are not in a position to execute Peter Federico’s loan deal just yet.
That is because the Spanish giants need to free up some space in the squad, meaning the deal could be reliant on the sale of Koba Koindredi.
The youngster is currently on loan at Estoril. But the deal has gotten complicated due to the involvement of one more Portuguese outfit in Sporting CP.
As things stand, the coming days could prove to be crucial, as far as the future of Peter Federico is concerned. But the youngster does look certain to join Valencia, sooner rather than later.

Mourinho considering starting 23-year-old Real Madrid ace against Villarreal – report
After impressing during the international break, Eduardo Camavinga has a major opportunity to establish himself in Real Madrid’s midfield rotation.
Indeed, according to Defensa Central, Jose Mourinho is considering starting the Frenchman against Villarreal, with injuries and doubts over several players limiting his options.
Real Madrid cannot afford to drop points against Villarreal if they want to remain in the title race. However, Mourinho has issues to deal with in the squad, which could lead him to turn to Camavinga for a crucial role.
Camavinga could replace Tchouameni in midfield
The 23-year-old star could line up as the defensive midfielder in the double pivot, with Bernardo Silva or Arda Guler alongside him, and will be tasked with providing balance in midfield.
Real Madrid face Villarreal with several problems in central defence. Ibrahima Konate is expected to be a late call, leading Mourinho to consider moving Aurelien Tchouameni into defence alongside Antonio Rudiger.
Meanwhile, Federico Valverde could also struggle to be ready after the ankle injury he sustained in the derby before the international break.
The Uruguayan has continued to work individually away from the group and might return to group training tomorrow. Even then, his readiness to start remains in question.
That would leave a place open in midfield, with Camavinga in line to fill in.
Camavinga impressed during the international break
Camavinga has started only one match this season, the defeat against Real Betis.
Despite his limited opportunities, Mourinho is keen to bring the Frenchman back into the fold after he impressed for France during the international break.
Zinedine Zidane called the Real Madrid star up for his first France squad, and the midfielder performed well during the break.
That has given Mourinho and Real Madrid reason to be optimistic about using him against Villarreal, with the hope that he can move closer to the level he showed after first arriving at the club.
Therefore, the Villarreal match could represent an important test for Camavinga and a chance for the Frenchman to show that he can provide the balance Real Madrid need in midfield.
