La Liga
Manchester United has intensified its interest in Adam Wharton, a 21-year-old midfielder from Crystal Palace, and is willing to offer 60 million pounds to secure his signing before Real Madrid can intervene.
The young English talent has excelled in the Premier League, being a key piece in the Palace midfield since his arrival in January 2024.
A promising midfielder in the Premier League
Adam Wharton joined Crystal Palace from Blackburn Rovers for an initial fee of 18.5 million pounds, which could rise to 22 million with add-ons. Since his arrival, he has shown great maturity on the field, significantly contributing to the team's success, including victories in the FA Cup and the Community Shield. His ability to control the pace of the game and his vision have made him one of the most promising midfielders in the Premier League.

Manchester United's interest and Real Madrid's competition
Manchester United, under the guidance of Rúben Amorim, is looking to strengthen its midfield and sees Wharton as an ideal option for the future. With potential departures of players like Casemiro and Kobbie Mainoo, the club believes an offer of 60 million pounds could be sufficient to convince Crystal Palace to sell the young midfielder.
On the other hand, Real Madrid has also shown interest in Wharton, viewing him as a possible successor to Toni Kroos. However, Crystal Palace has set a release clause above 80 million, which could hinder an immediate transfer. Nevertheless, the Spanish club continues to closely monitor his progress.
Can Manchester United beat Real Madrid to the signing?
With growing competition for Adam Wharton, Manchester United is determined to act swiftly. The 60 million pound offer reflects their commitment to securing the midfielder before other clubs can intervene. If Crystal Palace accepts the proposal, Wharton could become a key player in Manchester United's long-term project.
