Real Madrid is moving cautiously but also ambitiously. Their desire: to incorporate a midfielder who can fill the void left by Toni Kroos and Luka Modric. And the chosen one appears to be Adam Wharton.

So far, it was speculated that Crystal Palace would not allow Wharton to leave for less than 100 million euros. This figure was revealed by sources close to the club who wanted to discourage any modest offers.

However, new information points to a modification in that strategy. According to Ben Jacobs, as reported by Madrid-based media, the 100 million mark remains as the maximum limit, although they are willing to negotiate between 68 and 75 million if there is a prior agreement.

This price reduction stems from a previously agreed clause: if there is no contract renewal (valid until 2029), the exit formula would have already been agreed upon.

For Real Madrid, this margin is more feasible. The club believes that an operation for around 70 million could fit financially if accompanied by a significant sale.

Profile and Journey of the Young Talent

Adam Wharton, only 21 years old, emerged at Blackburn Rovers before joining Selhurst Park in 2024. Since his arrival, he has played dozens of games for Crystal Palace, providing creativity, control, and continuity.

He also made his debut for the England national team. The London club sees him as a key piece for their future project. He has a long contract and good resale value.

For Real Madrid, adding Wharton would solve an unresolved issue in their midfield. With players like Camavinga, Tchouaméni, or Valverde, the goal is to add balance, talent, and freshness.

But it's not all smooth sailing. If Crystal Palace insists on the 100 million € figure, the White Club would have to maneuver to finance it. This could involve a significant sale (like that of Rodrygo) or adjustments in other positions.

Furthermore, other clubs are closely monitoring the situation. Manchester United would be ready for a "gentlemen's agreement" that would allow them to sign Wharton for 60-65 million next window if he doesn't renew.

Within this scenario, Real Madrid must decide quickly whether to launch a clear offensive or wait for a more favorable opportunity to arise.

A Battle Between Giants

The announcement that Crystal Palace has raised their price to 100 million jeopardizes Real Madrid's aspirations. Will the White Club accept this cost or try to negotiate based on the middle clause?

Meanwhile, Wharton remains in a strategic position: with a long contract, good progression, and many eyes watching. Real Madrid is keeping a close watch, recalculating the actual value they can pay for who could be their next midfield reference.
