Liverpool enter 'advanced talks' for £18m star who Real Madrid want

Liverpool are now in 'advanced talks' to sign Adam Wharton

Even though Ryan Gravenberch may have just extended his Liverpool contract, there's still room for improvement in defensive midfield.

The Dutchman has been transformed into a number six by Slot and, even though he's been a fairly solid addition to Liverpool's starting XI, it's clear that the Reds could do with some extra help in that area.

Several names have been mentioned as potential targets for Liverpool to try and sign but now, it's clear who they actually want in that role.

Because, as per an update from Spanish outlet MARCA, the Reds are now in 'advanced talks' with Crystal Palace's Adam Wharton.

"[Liverpool] are in advanced talks for young Adam Wharton , preempting Real Madrid's earlier interest," they wrote.

Adam Wharton would be an exceptional signing for Liverpool

Wharton may have only cost Crystal Palace £18 million back in 2024 but he'd certainly cost the Reds a lot more than that to prise him away from Selhurst Park.

Now that and have left, Wharton is their best player by a country mile.
