PSG's interest in the midfielder is reportedly long-standing, though the recent altercation with Tchouameni could change that stance.Valverde was ordered to have 10-14 days rest by doctors and missed Madrid's 2-0 defeat to Barcelona in El Clasico, which saw their arch-rivals crowned La Liga champions.Man City have also been credited with an interest in the midfielder, prior to Tijjani Reijnders arrival at the Etihad Stadium last summer.Real Madrid are reportedly keen on finding a solution following the altercation, but United are in the market for midfield reinforcements this summer with Casemiro set to leave the club and have also expressed interest in Tchouameni.However, the French World Cup winner is reportedly unwilling to leave Real, encouraged by the support his club has demonstrated following his altercation with Valverde.Whether Valverde himself would be receptive to a switch to United remains unclear, with his current contract running until the summer of 2029.It would require a significant transfer fee - although the Reds' financial position will be strengthened by their Champions League qualification.The potential departures of Marcus Rashford, Rasmus Hojlund and Manuel Ugarte will also provide further assistance for the Reds. United have made recruiting two high-calibre midfielders a key objective this summer.Casemiro will leave Old Trafford at the conclusion of the campaign, while United are also anticipated to offload Ugarte to the highest bidder.United's possible midfield options include Elliot Anderson, Carlos Baleba, Adam Wharton, Tchouameni and now Valverde.The 27-year-old has accumulated 73 caps for his nation and is poised to represent Uruguay's squad at this summer's World Cup throughout North America.
