After a super US tour and the imminent departure of Mateo Kovacic, the doors to the first team have opened for Fede Valverde.

A starter in the games against Manchester United and Juventus, the Uruguayan dazzled, and hence there is the strong possibility that he will stay with the first team and be one of Julen Lopetegui’s 25 squad members.
