Life Journey

The Biography of Federico Valverde gives you information about his Childhood Story, Early Life, Parents (Julio Valverde and Doris Valverde), Family, Girlfriend/Wife to be (Mina Bonino), Lifestyle, Net Worth, and Personal Life.

We portray the story of a Football Genius best known by the nickname “Fede”. Beginning with his early days in the game, it moves on to when he became famous.

Presented below is a pictorial summary of Federico Valverde’s life to give you an idea of what he has accomplished.

He is indeed a supremely talented midfielder, a protagonist who has not just won the hearts of Real Madrid fans.

The biography of Federico Valverde is quite interesting, but only a few fans take the time to read it. Let’s get started now, without further ado.

Early Life And Family Background

His full name is Federico Santiago Valverde Dipetta. His parents, Julio Valverde and Doris Valverde gave him birth in Montevideo, Uruguay, on July 22, 1998.

Fede, as he’s known, is the second child of his loving parents. By religion, Federico was raised by Christian parents who are devout Roman Catholics.

Like Diego Forlán, the footballer is from Montevideo, Uruguay’s capital city. Because Uruguay (Montevideo) used to be part of the Spanish Empire (1724–1807), Federico could have Spanish roots.

Federico Valverde didn’t just grow up by his parents’ side. He also had an older brother named Diego. A household that didn’t know anything about football, with no family or relatives involved. Federico Valverde started the game while he was still in diapers.

Frederico was like most last-borns: he’d ask for anything and it’d get done in a snap. Back then, he didn’t ask for toys, just a football. When Federico was 2 years old, he made his dad nail a goalpost in the living room.

Hour after hour, he’d kick the ball into the net and score homey goals. Nobody knew it was a sign of things to come.

Education And Career Development Of Federico Valverde

When Fede was 3 years old, he had a burning desire to join a football team for sports education. His parents enrolled him in Union Students’ Babies, a small academy in Montevideo, while he was still wearing diapers.

Despite the fact that he wasn’t allowed to play official games because he wasn’t yet six years old. Fede scored his first goal at the age of three in an unofficial match against another academy called the Danube.

Little Federico was sometimes used as a mascot by bigger teams to compensate for the lack of official games. As Federico grew up, the academy in their magnanimity gave him the opportunity to play in the academy setup meant for players aged 6 and older when he was just 5.

Childhood Story

Federico Valverde’s parents supported his dream of becoming a footballer by doing everything in their power.

It was impossible for his tiny legs to wear soccer shoes so small at the time he joined. In the end, Federico Valverde’s mother found used ones at a fair after touring many shops. Within his first few months of playing football (before he turned 6), the little chap’s efforts began to pay off.

At the tender age of 5, he won his first championship against players older than him, which increased his chances of getting into bigger academies.

The Road To Fame

A trial call for Federico Valverde from Penarol, another Uruguayan team from Montevideo, brought much joy to the Valverde family in the year 2008. His mother accompanied him to trials. The shy boy leaned against a tree as he approached the kids’ gathering session.

Federico (aged nine) responded immediately to the authoritative voice. As soon as he heard that the other children were being tested, he ran to join them. Watching the practice, Doris heard the coach say that her son was a rare kid who would definitely be accepted.

After hearing that, the proud mother walked over to Nestor Gonsalves and said; Fede is my son.

Dorin was immediately thanked for raising him well by the coach. Federico enrolled with Penarol following his successful trial.

As a result of joining Penarol, he progressed faster in his teenage years, gaining national recognition. The rising star was called into the Uruguay U15 national youth team within two years of joining them.

Federico Valverde Girlfriend and Wife (to be)

It is always a potential WAG who hopes to cement her place as a girlfriend behind every successful footballer.

This Fede case was indeed involving a glamorous woman by the name of Mina Bonino. After Federico left Juliet, she became his girlfriend. In the case of the girlfriends of humble footballers, the combination of beauty and brain is very common.

His girlfriend is a successful TV presenter and journalist, so Federico is no exception. Mina Bonino was born on October 14th, 1993, making her 5 years older than her famous boyfriend. Actually, who cares? There is no such thing as old age, as they say.

The Instagram page of Mina Bonino boasts more than 250k followers (at the time of writing). Each time she poses with her man, the beautiful brunette oozes confidence. They have a healthy friendship-based relationship.

Their age difference aside, both lovers consider themselves more than just partners or lovers – but best friends as well.

Jealous Lovers

Their love for one another is deep, and they are jealous lovers. Sometimes, this jealousy could lead to light-hearted wars between the two. I’m done talking! Here’s the gist!

After observing his girlfriend upload a cheeky selfie revealing much of her sensitive body parts on Instagram, Valverde once had a light-hearted war of words with her. Just a few minutes after he commented on the post, hundreds of people liked it.

He joked that his girlfriend wears her top all day, even after sleeping through the night. She savagely retaliated when she claimed that her Uruguayan boyfriend does not regularly wash his underwear.

After a few days, Fede’s girlfriend Bonino proved to fans that there were no hard feelings between them. In a snap she posted of themselves with a sweet caption, she expressed their deep love for one another.

A Little Bit About Federico Valverde’s Father

Julio, his father, was always at work while his wife looked after their son’s career. Having raised a boy who was often lifted to training, the super dad is proud that his son has grown into a man.

The Little Bird has become a Big Bird, one who gets up easily when attacked by opponents.

He’s a football-loving dad who enjoys discussing football stuff with his son, despite not having as much influence on his career as his wife.

An Introduction To Federico Valverde’s Mother

When Federico traveled to Europe, his mother triggered her motherly role by ensuring she and Julio followed him. She made sure Fede continued to enjoy her delicious meals while they lived in Madrid.

While living in Madrid, Doris had a wonderful experience. Even though she rarely visits the Bernabeu, she prefers to watch her son’s games via television at home. When she goes to the supermarket or mall, it’s a different experience.

While at the market, Doris would hear people talking about her son.

The Current State Of Things

As Federico matured, his parents suggested he return to Montevideo. Their son and his brother Diego were allowed to continue their Madrid experience.

Fede’s parents got a four-bedroom duplex after returning to their homeland. Currently, his parents live in Uruguay and visit their son every six months.

The Brother Of Federico Valverde

Federico’s brother Deigo, who goes by the name of Deigo, is little known. Despite avoiding public attention, Diego may be focused solely on his little brother’s career.
