Real Madrid are reportedly thinking about bringing in a new central midfielder for the upcoming summer in addition to acquiring a new centre-back.
Madrid have missed having a midfield player who can direct play and set the pace from the middle of the park since Toni Kroos retired and Luka Modric left.
Therefore, even though the present team have some well-known players, the goal is to acquire a new midfielder who can provide such attributes.
In light of this, Los Blancos have made Adam Wharton of Crystal Palace a target, although they are up against fierce competition for the English midfield player.

United Ready To Go All In For Wharton
According to AS as reported by Madrid Universal, Manchester United have made Adam Wharton their top priority and are willing to spend a lot of money to bring him in 2026.
To recruit the Englishman, the Red Devils are prepared to spend about €100 million.
Wharton, who is only 21 years old, has established himself as one of the Premier League’s most promising midfielders and is now a regular member of the England national team.
A €100 million offer would be too good for Crystal Palace to refuse, but the Eagles are hesitant to lose one of their important players, whose contract expires in 2029.
It will be intriguing to watch how Real Madrid responds to United’s relentless pursuit of Wharton.
As it happens, one of the Merengues’ top targets to bolster the midfield in 2026 is Wharton.
