Liverpool's Adam Wharton is piquantly on everyone's radar as Real Madrid makes a serious push to sign the English midfielder. With several suitors already circling, it appears that Newcastle United, Tottenham Hotspur, and Manchester United are also vying for his signature. Crystal Palace have reportedly put their player up for sale at the end of the season with an eye-watering price tag of £65m.
However, Wharton's present situation with Liverpool is somewhat precarious. He has seen a decline in playing time under manager Jurgen Klopp after Kostas Tsimikas' loan deal was sorted out and Milos Kerkez joined the squad. The 29-year-old has only started four Serie A matches this season for Roma, suggesting that their wing-back system doesn't suit him.
Despite his relatively limited playing time with Roma, Sunderland are said to be holding onto Wharton with a firm grip. The English club has no interest in selling him and believes he's more valuable than initially thought. This stance is largely due to the significant increase in Wharton's price tag since joining Union Saint-Gilloise for £15m.
Meanwhile, Arsenal manager Unai Emery appears to be facing another challenge as they assess the severity of Boubacar Kamara's injury. The 25-year-old Aston Villa midfielder is crucial to their side and the team is keenly aware that his absence could leave them vulnerable. A player on a similar stature to Ruben Loftus-Cheek would need to be acquired.
Other transfer news includes Liverpool's interest in Crystal Palace's Adam Wharton, Napoli scouting Real Betis winger Abdessamad Ezzalzouli for fresh width under Antonio Conte, and James Ward-Prowse heading out of West Ham. The 31-year-old English midfielder has been struggling with his form since September, making a loan deal with Burnley the most plausible path forward.
In yet another transfer development, Robert Lewandowski is looking at various options, including MLS and Saudi Pro League moves. This comes as he approaches the end of his contract in the summer and needs to secure a new deal quickly.
