Calafat Wants to Repeat the Bellingham Operation in the Premier League, Priority Target

Real Madrid managed to make a big splash with the signing of Jude Bellingham a couple of summers ago. Several teams like Liverpool and Manchester City wanted him, but the Merengues secured his services. The same story could repeat itself thanks to Juni Calafat.

Real Madrid's chief scout was key in convincing Bellingham to sign. Now he is reportedly planning the same with Adam Wharton, the talented Crystal Palace player. A player who is strongly rumored to reinforce the midfield of the white team.

He is one of the great revelations of the Premier League, and several teams are closely following him. That's why Juni Calafat wants to try to be the first to test the waters. White team scouts have even already watched him in person.

He is a signing that Real Madrid has on the agenda, thinking of him filling the spot left by Kroos. But it won't be easy, as the competition will be very high. This will cause his price to skyrocket since Crystal Palace wants to profit from his potential sale.

In England, They Warn of the Danger of Real Madrid Going for His Signing

It's true that it doesn't seem like there will be arrivals this summer to reinforce the midfield. However, in the medium term, they are considering what might happen to fill the gaps left by Kroos and Modric. This could lead to making an effort in the market for Wharton.

Juni Calafat is the one insisting the most on his possible signing as he believes he has a lot of talent. Reports from England indicate that he would be responsible for Real Madrid's interest. And also that the white team has sent scouts to get direct reports on him.

Additionally, some sources indicate that Bellingham may have also recommended his signing to the club. In England, he is considered one of the most talented young players in his position. Tuchel has also been following him to include him in upcoming drafts.
