Real Madrid midfield target could be made available by Premier League club in 2027

Real Madrid midfield target could be made available by Premier League club in 2027 One of the main objectives for Real Madrid this summer was to bring in a new central midfielder capable of controlling the tempo and dictating the play from the middle. A move for Rodri was in the works before the Spain captain decided to sign for FC Barcelona. The Merengues assessed several other options, but ended up not signing any player, with Jose Mourinho deciding to use Bernardo Silva in the double pivot. One of the midfielders that Real Madrid were looking at as an option was Adam Wharton of Crystal Palace. The England international has been on the club’s radar for a while now, but the Premier League club never opened the door for a summer departure . Wharton could be on the market in 2027 However, now, according to The Guardian (h/t Bernabeu Digital ), That stance could change next year, as that Palace would be prepared to consider selling Wharton during the next summer transfer window.

Manchester City and Chelsea also showed serious interest in signing the England international during the summer. However, Crystal Palace were unwilling to sell, effectively ruling out a move for the midfielder. But it appears that they could open the doors for Wharton to leave in the summer of 2027, potentially paving the way for Real Madrid to make a move. Real Madrid continue to monitor Wharton Real Madrid are expected to keep a close eye on Wharton’s progress ahead of the 2027 market. Should they decide they need another high-quality midfielder, the 22-year-old could once again emerge as a candidate. Wharton could be on the market in 2027.

Chelsea, however, could remain a potential competitor after failing to add a player in the position during the latest window. For now, Wharton will remain at Crystal Palace, but the club’s willingness to consider a sale next summer means the midfielder could become a realistic option for Real Madrid in 2027.
