Real Madrid are considering making a late move for a top Premier League star who has been linked with several big clubs this summer.
With the 2025/26 season only days away, most clubs have likely wrapped up the bulk of their transfer business.
Still, some teams are expected to remain active until the window closes on September 1, with several European giants aiming to secure high-profile signings in the final weeks.
Real Madrid is reportedly among those still looking to strengthen, as they prepare to challenge long-time rivals Barcelona for the La Liga crown. According to a new report, the Spanish champions have set their sights on a standout Premier League star.
Fresh off their penalty shootout victory over Premier League champions Liverpool in the FA Community Shield, Crystal Palace are drawing interest from top clubs.
Defender Marc Guehi has once again been linked with a move to Liverpool, with reports suggesting the England international is keen on joining the Anfield side. But Guehi might not be the only key player leaving Selhurst Park this summer.
According to The Daily Mail, Real Madrid are considering a move for midfielder Adam Wharton before the transfer deadline. The Spanish giants have reportedly been a “constant presence” in the stands at Palace games, monitoring the 21-year-old’s performances. Liverpool, Manchester United, and Manchester City are also said to be tracking him, while Tottenham Hotspur enquired about his availability ahead of the FA Cup final in May — only to be told Palace would want around £100 million.
Manager Oliver Glasner, who led Palace to Community Shield success, addressed the transfer speculation, saying contract talks for himself are not a priority right now. On Guehi’s future, he noted: “Marc decides about his future. Of course, everybody wants him to sign a new contract, but it will be his decision. Everybody wants to keep this squad together… but in this crazy transfer market, we never know what will happen.”
