Real Madrid has set their sights on Adam Wharton from Crystal Palace as their main target to strengthen their midfield in 2026 and are preparing an offer of 115 million to secure his signing.

The young English midfielder is considered the top signing priority upon the explicit request of Xabi Alonso, who sees him as the missing piece to complete his project at the Santiago Bernabéu.

Adam Wharton, the midfielder Xabi Alonso wants

Following the retirement of Toni Kroos and the departure of Luka Modric, Real Madrid lacks a pure orchestrator to set the rhythm of games. For Alonso, Wharton is the right player: left-footed, with great vision, and capable of breaking lines with vertical passes.

In his first two seasons with Crystal Palace, the Englishman played 48 official matches and provided six assists. Furthermore, he is already an international player with England and has won local titles such as the FA Cup and the Community Shield, proving his meteoric rise in the elite.

The major problem for Madrid will be the price. Crystal Palace valued Wharton at 115 million after recently selling Eze to Arsenal and is not willing to let him go easily.

The operation is also not without competition. Both Liverpool and Manchester City are closely monitoring the player. According to English media, Pep Guardiola considers him a midfielder with "the ability to control game tempo at the level of top European organizers."

Moreover, Manchester United has also shown interest, while in Spain, there is confidence that Jude Bellingham and Trent Alexander-Arnold will use their influence to convince the player to move to Chamartín.

The White Club has already invested over 170 million euros this summer in signings like Alexander-Arnold, Dean Huijsen, Álvaro Carreras, and Franco Mastantuono. However, the board understands that hiring Wharton would not only address an immediate need but represent a long-term investment.

"Wharton has the personality and quality to lead the midfield for the next decade," explained an analyst from AS. At the Bernabéu, they see him as the natural heir to Kroos and Modric, capable of continuing a playing style based on possession and tactical intelligence.

The possibility of undertaking this operation will largely depend on a significant sale. All eyes are on Rodrygo Goes, sought after in England, as the key to freeing up the necessary budget.

At just 21 years old, Adam Wharton embodies exactly what Real Madrid is looking for: youth, quality, and potential. The midfielder is already being compared to Andrea Pirlo in England, and his name enjoys consensus in the White's board.

The message is clear: Real Madrid wants Wharton as the cornerstone of their next project. If he doesn't arrive in this transfer window, the offensive will be reignited in 2026. The truth is that the White club does not plan to let one of the most promising talents in European football slip away.
