Real Madrid consider late summer move for Premier League midfielder

Real Madrid consider late summer move for Premier League midfielder After missing out on Rodri, who is set to join Barcelona , Real Madrid must now look elsewhere if they are to sign a midfielder. They were also priced out of a move for Chelsea’s Enzo Fernandez earlier in the summer, although these two cases have not stopped them from continuing to look at the Premier League market. Jose Mourinho was reportedly left very unhappy at Real Madrid’s failure to sign Rodri , and in order to appease him, they may need to pursue other targets. One player that they have kept tabs on over the last 12-18 months is Adam Wharton, and according to CaughtOffside , they could make a move for the Crystal Palace and England star before the transfer window closes. However, it would not be a straightforward pursuit for Real Madrid, with the report also noting that Wharton also has interest from Manchester United and Chelsea, while the asking price could also be an obstacle for Bernabeu bosses. Wharton valued at €100m by Crystal Palace Given that a number of midfielders have moved clubs this summer for transfer fees in the region and above €100m, Crystal Palace have made it clear that they would also require this amount in order to consider letting Wharton leave. They are not under pressure to raise funds are selling Maxence Lacroix to Chelsea for €60m a couple of weeks ago, which is why Real Madrid would not have much bargaining power. It would be no surprise if Real Madrid eventually made a move for Wharton, given they have kept tabs on him for some time. They already have an English contingent with Trent Alexander-Arnold and Jude Bellingham, so there would be no issues with integrating into Mourinho’s squad either, although it would be a surprise at this stage if a move was made before the summer transfer window closes.
