Real Madrid are keen on signing the Crystal Palace midfielder Adam Wharton at the end of the season.
According to Fichajes, they will face competition from Manchester United and Liverpool. The two English clubs are keen on the 21-year-old midfielder and it remains to be seen where he ends up. The player is valued at £70 million and all three clubs have the financial resources to get the deal done.
Real Madrid need to add more quality and depth in the middle of the park and Wharton could prove to be a superb long term investment for them. Real Madrid need to prepare for a future without Luka Modric and the recently retired Toni Kroos. Signing one of the most talented young central midfielders in English football could prove to be a wise decision. The 21-year-old could be attracted to the idea of moving to Spain.
Real Madrid are widely regarded as the biggest club in the world and the opportunity to play for them can be hard to turn down for any player. They could nurture the 21-year-old into a top class player in the near future.
Man United and Liverpool keen
Meanwhile, Manchester United need a midfield controller like Wharton as well. He could form a solid partnership with Kobbie Mainoo at the heart of their midfield. It will be interesting to see if the player is willing to continue in England and join one of the biggest clubs in the world. Manchester United have the resources to build a formidable squad and the opportunity to play for them can be quite attractive for most players.
Similarly, Liverpool have an exceptional project as well and they are fighting for major trophies regularly. They need a quality midfielder who will add control, composure and defensive quality to the side. The 21-year-old could complete their midfield unit alongside Ryan Gravenberch and Alexis Mac Allister.
The Crystal Palace midfielder has the quality to justify the £70 million asking price and it will be interesting to see if any of the three clubs decide to come forward with an official offer for him at the end of the season. He is still only 21 and he will only improve with coaching and experience. He could easily justify the outlay in future.
