Overview
- Real Madrid and ACF Fiorentina officially confirmed the transfer on Friday, completing a deal that moves Víctor Valdepeñas to Italy.
- Fiorentina reportedly paid €8 million for the defender and Real Madrid retained 50% of any future sale as part of the agreement.
- Valdepeñas has signed a long-term contract at Fiorentina that has been reported to run until 2031 and he is expected to compete for minutes at left-back and centre-back.
- A product of Real Madrid’s academy who joined in 2018, Valdepeñas won youth trophies including the UEFA Youth League, featured in Spain’s U19 European Championship squad, and made one LaLiga appearance last season.
