Real Madrid and Manchester United have a new competition in the race to sign Crystal Palace midfielder, Adam Wharton as Barcelona enter the fray.
Club legends Luka Modric and Toni Kroos have not been sufficiently replaced by the Merengues, and the squad’s current options have not advanced as much as was anticipated.
Additionally, a position will be created in the midfield area since Dani Ceballos is also anticipated to depart.
Demand For Wharton
According to earlier reports, Real Madrid are considering Wharton as a possible summer target.
Los Blancos are reportedly interested in the 22-year-old midfield player, but they will have to contend with competition from FC Barcelona, their bitter rival, according to sources from England that were reported by SPORT.
Furthermore, the Crystal Palace and England midfielder has shown interest in joining Premier League teams Manchester United, Liverpool, and Manchester City next summer.

Acquiring a new midfield player is not Barcelona’s top summer priority. Also, they might be further deterred from considering a transfer by the possible asking price for Wharton.
For Madrid, acquiring a midfielder who can coordinate play is a top priority. Wharton might not fit that description exactly, but he could help with other things, including ball circulation speed.
In any event, the former Blackburn Rovers man would not be inexpensive, which would make Real Madrid reconsider the deal.
