Crystal Palace sets €90 million price tag for Adam Wharton amid Real Madrid interest

Crystal Palace has reportedly placed a price tag of over €90 million on midfielder Adam Wharton, who is being pursued by Real Madrid. This demand complicates Real Madrid’s search for midfield reinforcements, especially after Rodri's decision to join Barcelona. The club's current financial strategy heavily relies on player sales before pursuing new signings, which adds pressure as other attractive midfielders have already left the market. Wharton has also attracted interest from Liverpool but reportedly views a move to Real Madrid favorably. The outcome of potential departures at Real Madrid will greatly influence any transfer negotiations for Wharton.
