Jude Bellingham has been an essential part in the signing of Alexander Arnold by Real Madrid. He has a great relationship with the Liverpool full-back, as he has demonstrated in every training camp with England. He not only recommended his signing but also convinced him to accept.

But it seems that the Madridist '5' is not going to stop there and will continue recommending players to Real Madrid. After Arnold, the next one he has put on the radar for the Whites also plays in the Premier League. It is the midfielder from Crystal Palace, Adam Wharton.

He has spoken highly of his ability to make good decisions in the defensive aspect. But also of the virtues he has with the ball at his feet to generate play. He considers that he could be one of the candidates to fill the spot left by Toni Kroos last summer.

He is considered one of the new talents of England and at 21 years old he is stirring passions. He would arrive at Real Madrid endorsed by Bellingham and with a lot of future ahead at the club. Therefore, he is a signing that they are already starting to seriously consider at Valdebebas.

Real Madrid Has Taken the First Step for the Incorporation of Adam Wharton in Summer

Real Madrid seems to be seriously considering the possible signing of Adam Wharton for the midfield. Meanwhile, from England, they assure that the Whites have sent scouts to see him up close. They want to monitor him in person to understand his potential.

Although they wouldn't be the only ones since Thomas Tuchel, the current England manager, has done the same. He has been seen at Crystal Palace matches considering him for the national team. It is clear that he is attracting attention, and Real Madrid wouldn't have an easy time signing him.

Last winter market, City considered his incorporation as a possible replacement after Rodri's injury. But his team set a price of 70 million for his release in January. Guardiola's team opted for Nico González, and the Merengues already know it will cost a fortune.
