It is that time of the summer again when Real Madrid start making moves in the transfer market.
The Spanish giants may have won everything in recent years, but the last season was disappointing as Los Blancos went trophyless.
With the departure of Luka Modric after the Club World Cup, the club has now turned its attention to finding the next big thing.
Los Blancos are not looking for just any midfielder. They want someone smart, calm on the ball, and ready to learn from the very best.
At the same time, this player must also bring energy and consistency, something the next generation of Madrid’s midfield will need.
The club’s scouts have been active across Europe. From France to Germany, they are tracking top talent.
But now, a new name from the Premier League has climbed to the top of their watchlist.
The 21-year-old has been quietly putting in standout performances for Crystal Palace.
With maturity beyond his age, he has impressed with his positioning, passing range, and decision-making under pressure.
Despite his young age, he has been a key figure in Palace’s midfield, playing with a cool head in tough matches.
He has been instrumental in helping Crystal Palace lift the FA Cup, the first ever major trophy in the history of the English club.
According to a Spanish source, Real Madrid are seriously considering a move for Adam Wharton. Crystal Palace, however, hold the upper hand.
Wharton is under contract until 2029, and his value is estimated around €45 million.
The London club sees him as a major part of their future and are not open to selling him on the cheap.
Real Madrid know this will not be a quick deal. Other options are also being explored, but Adam Wharton remains high on their list.
If his rise continues, the interest from Spain may soon turn into something much more serious.
