New reports have revealed fresh details about the violent conflict that shook Real Madrid’s dressing room in recent days, with Uruguayan star Federico Valverde at the center of the storm after a clash with his French teammate Aurelien Tchouameni at the club’s training facility in Valdebebas.
According to AS, Valverde’s anger and emotional breakdown following the incident led him to make explosive statements in the corridors of the sports city, declaring that he “will never play for Real Madrid again,” describing the situation inside the club as “unbearable.”
The newspaper confirmed that the incident occurred after days of tension in the dressing room, fueled by a leak of internal information, before things erupted during a highly charged training session, ending in a fierce altercation between the two players.
It added that Valverde fell into deep regret after the incident, especially after being taken to a medical center for stitches after losing consciousness during the clash.
After returning home, the player decided to issue an official statement, describing what happened as a “misunderstanding,” and insisting that the situation did not escalate to mutual physical aggression between him and Tchouameni.
Real Madrid imposed a massive fine of half a million euros on each player, aiming to end the crisis and contain the tension within the team before the final stretch of the season.
In an attempt to defuse the situation, Valverde and Tchouameni held a reconciliation session where both acknowledged their mistakes and exchanged apologies after the crisis that threatened the stability of the royal club’s dressing room.
Despite the angry remarks Valverde made in the heat of the moment, the newspaper confirmed that the player is not actually considering leaving, and his genuine desire remains to continue with Real Madrid and restore his calm after one of the toughest periods of his football career.
