Spanish report links Wharton to Reds and Real…

Real Madrid is reportedly considering a swoop for Liverpool target Adam Wharton. The Reds have been consistently linked with the Crystal Palace midfielder since his dazzling Premier League displays following his switch from Blackburn Rovers. In just 46 matches for the Eagles, he’s amazed fans so thoroughly they now expect him to part the Red Sea during halftime. His performance was crucial in their FA Cup victory over Manchester City at Wembley. A fresh report from Spain now suggests both Real Madrid and Liverpool are among four clubs vying for the England player’s signature.

AS, via Sport Witness, indicates that Wharton is a hot topic in football gossip circles, catching attention from Manchester City and Manchester United in addition to Los Blancos and Liverpool. Real Madrid is looking to fill its midfield void after losing veteran stars Toni Kroos and Luka Modric. However, they’ll need to pull a rabbit out of a hat, or perhaps transfer a key player, before enlisting the 21-year-old. Crystal Palace values Wharton at a sky-high £70M, which would buy enough pies to feed every fan at a Manchester derby.
