TRENDING RUMORS
– Real Madrid is among various teams monitoring Crystal Palace midfielder Adam Wharton, as reported by the
Daily Mail. Scouts have been following the 21-year-old closely, perceiving him as a future asset.
Competition for Wharton also comes from Premier League rivals like Liverpool, Manchester City, and
Manchester United. Since moving from
Blackburn Rovers in 2024, Wharton has become essential for the Eagles.
– Liverpool is preparing a €35 million bid for Parma center-back Giovanni Leoni, as per
Nicolò Schira. The Reds have reportedly come to terms with the 18-year-old on a six-year contract through 2031.
Corriere dello Sport indicates that Parma is holding out for an initial €30 million plus €5 million in bonuses.
EXPERT TAKE
ESPN’s Sam Tighe analyzes the interest in Adam Wharton:
Wharton’s remarkable skill lies in his quick, progressive passing. As Real Madrid values players like the legendary Toni Kroos, he fits their style perfectly.
Ranking in the 93rd percentile for progressive passing last season, Wharton consistently delivered precise through-balls for Crystal Palace’s counter-attacks. His ability to make swift
decisions makes him hard to defend against.Combining this talent with solid defensive capabilities and a dangerous set-piece delivery, he usually operates deeper and is less focused on scoring, having hit two goals in a season.
The prevailing thought is that a transfer to a club like Liverpool or Manchester City is inevitable, and his performance in the Community Shield reinforced his readiness for a top-tier club.
