Xabi Alonso was still able to make a signature before the Summer Transfer Vandar slams close to Real Madrid.
Alonso has only had a limited time to work with his players during a compacted presidential campaign after he led his new team to the FIFA Club World Cup Semi Finales in July.
Trent Alexander-Arnold completed a move to Madrid just before the flight to the US with the Spanish International Dean Huijsen who also participated from Bournemouth.
After completing the tournament, Alvaro Carreras from Benfica arrived and Franco Mastantuono has now joined the river plate after being 18.
Midfield, however, remains a point of care for Alonso, where Jude Bellingham and Eduardo Camavinga both miss the start of the campaign due to injury.
The newest update of the Daily Mail indicates that Alonso Crystal Palace game maker Adam Wharton is still watching after an impressive Stint so far with the FA Cup winners of Oliver Glasner.
Real Madrid has been monitoring Wharton since the beginning of 2025, with his adult and composed performances in the midfield of Palace and earning rave reviews.
Premier League -Rivalen Manchester City and Manchester United also have his progress with Pep Guardiola a big fan of the English International.
Former Real Madrid game maker Toni Kroos has emphasized the need for Alonso to introduce a player who is comparable to his profile without replacement after his retirement in 2024.
With Wharton under contract in Palace until 2029, however, the Eagles are not under pressure to sell and can demand enormous transfer costs to consider a sale.
Previous reports had marked that figure about £ 60 million, but Het Laatste Nieuws refers to an increase of around £ 80 million.
A summer offer remains complicated and Palace is also confronted with the prospect of losing Captain Marc Guehi and Wharton's midfield partner Ebereechi Eze.
