Premier League
Real Madrid maintains its interest in Adam Wharton with the intention of trying to sign him during the winter transfer market of 2027. The latest Real Madrid transfer rumors are focusing on strengthening the midfield.
According to Ekrem Konur, the Madrid board is considering his addition to bring solidity to the midfield, while Crystal Palace values the transfer of the English international at 87 million euros (75 million pounds).
Real Madrid does not forget about Adam Wharton
The 22-year-old midfielder established himself in the Premier League after arriving at Selhurst Park in January 2024 from Blackburn Rovers, accumulating to date 100 official matches, 1 goal, and 12 assists. Although Crystal Palace retained the player during the last summer window, the London club's management will greenlight a negotiation if the offers reach the set amount of 87 million euros.

The Real Madrid sports management is evaluating the operation to address the lack of options in the defensive midfield. Despite the player's high valuation, the offices in Chamartín believe that the amount fits within the current market parameters following the recent transfers in English football.
Competition with the Premier League for the English midfielder
Real Madrid is not alone in the race for the British midfielder. Chelsea, Liverpool, and Newcastle United have also initiated contacts with the player's representatives to manage his signing for the upcoming transfer period.
Meanwhile, Chelsea is seeking the midfielder to cover Moisés Caicedo's rotations, while Liverpool requires a defensive specialist to free up Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai in the creation. Despite the pressure from the Premier League, the possibility of moving to the Spanish league is appealing to the player.
Real Madrid's scouts will intensify their in-person monitoring during Crystal Palace's matches in October and November 2026. The Real Madrid board plans to have direct discussions with the English club in the first week of December 2026, aiming to finalize the transfer before the market opens on January 1, 2027.
