Almost €100 Million for the Premier League Gem, Madrid Makes a Final Decision

Real Madrid Continues Working on Next Season's Planning After a Turbulent Year Due to Absences and Injuries. In the offices of Concha Espina, they are primarily looking to strengthen the team in those field positions where certain weaknesses have been detected.

The Main Goal Is to Strengthen a Defensive Line That Has Been Severely Affected Since the Start of the Current Season. The ordeal began with the tough—and long-lasting—injuries of Dani Carvajal and Éder Militao and has continued to this day. The most recent ones are those of Antonio Rüdiger, Ferland Mendy, and David Alaba.

At the Moment, Madrid Doesn't Have a Pure Right Back—Lucas Vázquez Is Originally a Winger—and Only Has One Healthy Center Back, Raúl Asencio, who wasn't part of the first team when the season started. The circumstances, therefore, dictate the fate of a team that has been relentlessly hit by setbacks.

But Defense Isn't the Only Position That Madrid Understands Needs Reinforcement. The midfield has struggled after Toni Kroos's 'retirement,' and although Dani Ceballos has been the 'solution,' the Sevillian ended up getting injured at the worst possible time and still hasn't regained all the pace that is demanded, as we saw against Arsenal at Santiago Bernabéu (1-2) and in the recent Copa final against Barça (3-2).

Summit for Adam Wharton

One of the Footballers of the Moment Is Adam Wharton. The 21-year-old midfielder plays for Crystal Palace and, according to 'Team Talk,' the Londoners would have set the player's exit at about 80 million pounds (about 94 million euros).

Wharton is one of the great revelations of the Premier League, and Real Madrid would have to make a decision on a player who is highly valued in the market, where he has several 'offers.' Manchester United and Liverpool are strongly interested in the Brit, who is also closely followed by Manchester City, Arsenal, and Chelsea.
