Wharton, linked to Real Madrid, the deal is feasible: the details

Wharton's signing is possible; it is not ruled out in the final stretch of the market

There's less and less time left before the transfer market closes, and there are still many pending deals. For Madridists, the future of players like Rodrygo or Ceballos continues to make headlines. But also the possible arrivals that could happen at the last minute.

With Florentino, we already know that you can't let your guard down, since a surprise could come in on the last day. One of the most likely is Adam Wharton, who's liked as a reinforcement for the midfield. Xabi Alonso would be delighted with his arrival, since he requested a creative midfielder with his profile.

At Real Madrid, they've been paying attention, and the truth is that it would be a viable deal in this market. Although Crystal Palace doesn't want to sell him, they do admit that Madrid's interest could be key. If the player asks them to let him leave, they'd sit down to negotiate with Madrid.

However, they're not going to make things easy and will ask for around €80 million to close his signing. That's an amount that could be a bit high for the plans Real Madrid had. We'll have to keep an eye out to see what happens in this final stretch of the market.

Everything depends on the decision Rodrygo makes in this market

Despite having an open roster spot, it seems that Real Madrid isn't even thinking about making more moves in the market. Although they're watching several players, they're doing so more with next year in mind. That's the case with Konaté or precisely the aforementioned Wharton.

They want to see if the British midfielder keeps performing at the same level he's shown so far. He has good qualities, although they want him to prove all those good impressions. That's why they'll keep a close eye on Crystal Palace's matches, something the scouts have already done.

Also, because everything would depend on what Rodrygo finally decides to do this summer. If the Brazilian leaves, they could decide to go for a reinforcement in the market. They could reinvest the money left by the former Santos player in a signing for the midfield, such as Wharton.
