Only the signature is missing: this star says goodbye to Real Madrid and United is its destination

Although Real Madrid's transfer market seems to be at a standstill, the reality is that this isn't exactly the case today. They still have certain names on their list of possible signings, with one of them appearing to be saying goodbye for good. Manchester United, according to what Defensa Central has learned, has intervened in the signing of Adam Wharton.

This English player had been one of Real Madrid's targets because of his characteristics in midfield. A young footballer from Crystal Palace who seemed to be close to joining the Merengue side has now changed his plans to stay in England. Clearly, this is a significant blow for the structure of the white club, which had hoped to have this star in its ranks.

United beats Madrid to it

The Red Devils are undergoing a very important rebuild that has been ongoing for several years due to their poor results. Now, this Crystal Palace player, who is only 21 years old, is very close to becoming one of its reinforcements. Clearly, he is a footballer with great qualities, standing 6 ft. (1.82 m) tall and very capable of dominating the midfield.

The Merengue side's interest arose through the club's scouts, who were surprised by the footballer's performance. Taking into account only last season and his age, he managed to play a good number of minutes throughout it. He played more than 1,700 minutes in 27 matches, where he was crucial for the team's achievements.

Now it seems that, with a market value of 45 million euros, he is much closer to staying in England. The idea that Rúben Amorim currently has seems to be much more about bringing in this star than some might have thought.

Maybe another time

What is clear is that the white club will keep a close eye on him, as it has done in recent years in the Premier League, where he has had tremendous development. For this reason, it is important to keep him on the radar in the coming years, now that he will be linked to another major club.

However, if things get complicated in the near future regarding his price, this could change. For now, the only thing they can do is wait to see if the transfer goes through and thus monitor him carefully.
