Real Madrid targets Liverpool midfielder Adam Wharton in €70‑120m deal

Spanish club Real Madrid is reported to be interested in signing 22‑year‑old Adam Wharton, a Liverpool central midfielder. Sources say Palace have floated a €120 million price tag, although Madrid values the player nearer €70 million.

Mourinho, who returned to manage the team, sees strengthening the midfield as essential for future Champions League and La Liga success. Wharton is also on the radar of other English clubs, including Liverpool, Manchester United, Chelsea and Manchester City, while Tottenham and other suitors have been mentioned.

The potential move follows Madrid’s recent defensive signings of Ibrahima Konaté, Denzel Dumfries and Marc Cucurella, and comes as the club continues to seek high‑profile additions ahead of the next season.
