He is likely not a cheap acquisition, and a report by Fichajes claims Real Madrid is preparing to offer him around 60 million euros.<\/p>\n<p>It is rare for Crystal Palace to sanction his departure for such money. They could ask him for a premium. Meanwhile, the report also claims that Liverpool can enter a bid war with the Spanish giants. <\/p>\n<p>Manchester United also watches the tabs Wharton.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Real_Madrid_can_use_Adam_Wharton\"><\/span>Real Madrid can use Adam Wharton<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Real Madrid needs more control and depth in the middle of the park, especially after the departure of Luka Modric and Toni Crew. The UK midfielders could prove to be the ideal long-term investment for them. He helps them control the game and also protects the back 4. <\/p>\n<p>Similarly, Liverpool is overly dependent on Ryan Gravenberch, located in the middle of the park. They need deeper depth in that area of \u200b\u200bthe pitch, and the Crystal Palace stars help them improve defensively and get better control of the game in the middle. <\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_will_Wharton_go\"><\/span>Where will Wharton go?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Adam Wharton watches during Crystal Palace vs Nottingham Forest (Photo: Eddie Keogh\/Getty Images)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Both clubs are attractive destinations for players.
