Real Madrid and Barcelona continue to closely monitor the situation of English midfielder Adam Wharton, who is shining in the Crystal Palace shirt in the Premier League .
In addition to the two La Liga giants, several major English clubs have also shown interest in the 21-year-old.
According to reports from The Sun , there are currently five teams that are seriously considering the possibility of transferring the English talent, Manchester United, Manchester City, Liverpool, as well as Real Madrid and Barcelona.
Wharton’s transfer is expected to be a complex operation, not only due to strong competition, but also due to the high financial demands of the London club.
Following the departure of defender Marc Guehi, Crystal Palace’s management are unwilling to lose another key player without making the most of him.
Sources close to the club say that the midfielder’s transfer fee could exceed 100 million euros, an amount that could be considered high for Barcelona and Real Madrid, considering the current financial strategies of both clubs.
Formed in the academy of Blackburn Rovers, his hometown club, Wharton joined Crystal Palace in the winter transfer window of 2024.
Since moving to Selhurst Park, he has made 80 official appearances and contributed 10 assists.
His consistent performances have also earned him a call-up to the England national team, with whom he has now made three appearances for the first team.
With interest growing and such a high market price, Adam Wharton’s future is expected to be one of the hottest sagas of the summer transfer window.
