Real Madrid Confidencial Dubbed the 'new Pirlo', Adam Wharton is getting closer to Real Madrid: this is how he plays
The Crystal Palace footballer is one of the most sought-after by the major European clubs
Real Madrid is about to start the season and, although it seems that the squad is complete, last-minute surprises in the transfer market can't be ruled out. However, it is true that Gonzalo García and Franco Mastantuono's spots fill all the available slots. This means that, unless someone leaves, the Madrid club wouldn't be able to sign anyone else for the 25/26 season.
The departure of any player is not clear at all. Dani Ceballos or Rodrygo Goes have been rumored, although the club makes it clear that they want to keep counting on them. In fact, the Andalusian started against WSG Tirol after Fede Valverde's absence, while the Brazilian ended up scoring the 0-4.
However, if any player leaves the club, Real Madrid would have its sights set on Adam Wharton, a midfielder from Crystal Palace.
Adam Wharton, the Palace piece watched by Real Madrid
According to "Defensa Central", some Real Madrid scouts have traveled to see him firsthand. They point out that they've been at Selhurst Park several times to monitor his progress. This shows the club's clear interest in signing the player, although there are also other teams keeping an eye on him.
However, even though Real Madrid has his name on its list, it doesn't mean Adam Wharton will play in white next season. It's not clear that the club will go after his signing just yet. However, they do want to have reports so that when the time comes, they know for sure if his arrival is of interest.
Real Madrid has to free up space to sign
As of today, Real Madrid can't sign any player. The main reason is the following: there have to be departures, since all the slots are filled. Franco Mastantuono and Gonzalo García have been the last to fill them.
Besides Rodrygo Goes, who's been linked to Manchester City in recent hours, there are also other names on the way out.Ferland Mendy or David Alaba have also been in the spotlight, but both also want to stay. Therefore, Adam Wharton's signing is expected to be very complex for this summer.
