Real Madrid Eyes Premier League Midfielder Adam Wharton Amid Rodrygo Transfer Interest

Real Madrid is actively monitoring young Crystal Palace midfielder Adam Wharton, who impressed recently, including in the Community Shield against Liverpool, and is seen as a potential future reinforcement. Despite Wharton's injury challenges last season and competition for playing time at Real Madrid, the club's interest underscores their strategy of acquiring promising talent, with Wharton also linked to clubs like Manchester United and Bayern Munich. Meanwhile, Real Madrid continues to focus on rejuvenating their squad, particularly in defense, with potential free transfers like Konaté being targeted to address key needs. On the offensive side, Brazilian winger Rodrygo, despite limited playing time under coach Xabi Alonso, remains committed to Real Madrid, though several Premier League clubs including Liverpool, Arsenal, Tottenham, and Manchester City have expressed interest in signing him. Real Madrid has set a high asking price for Rodrygo and has not received formal offers, emphasizing that any transfer would require the player’s consent and a substantial bid. The club is balancing its pursuit of established stars and emerging talents as it aims to remain competitive under Alonso's management.
