Adam Wharton: the dream midfielder for Xabi Alonso at Real Madrid

Throughout this summer, numerous names have been mentioned to strengthen Madrid's midfield. Xabi Alonso arrived at the club with a request: he wanted a skillful player for the midfield. After Kroos and Modrić left, he felt a void in that area of the field.

His preferred choice was Zubimendi, but he ended up moving to Arsenal, due to Mikel Arteta's persistence. That has led Real Madrid to look for alternatives and Adam Wharton is the chosen one. In fact, Defensa Central has confirmed to us that they're going to monitor him specifically.

Last season, they already sent scouts at Juni Calafat's request to gather reports. For this new season, they're going to continue in the same way to observe his development. They believe he's the best midfielder when thinking about both the present and the future.

He has become an important player for Crystal Palace, with whom he has achieved significant successes. They believe he could make the leap to a bigger project, with Real Madrid positioning itself. It seems he could be the big surprise they're preparing for next year.

Reports on Adam Wharton support him as the next signing

Xabi Alonso believes Real Madrid will need to sign a midfielder who can create play. It's true that footballers like Trent, Huijsen, or Arda Güler have solved the problem they had. However, in the long term, he believes another reinforcement should arrive for that position.

Adam Wharton has become the number one target for Real Madrid for next summer. Not only because Juni Calafat has very good reports, but also because Jude Bellingham recommends him as well. He believes his compatriot could be a great signing for the midfield.

They're going to closely follow the Englishman with a possible signing for next summer in mind. If he performs at the same level as last season, they'll take him very seriously. They're willing to negotiate with Crystal Palace to try to secure his services, with Xabi Alonso giving his approval.
