AS: Real Madrid is paying attention to Crystal Palace midfielder Walton, Manchester United is considering a 60 million pound purchase next summer

Spanish media "AS" reported that Real Madrid intends to introduce Crystal Palace midfielder Walton, and Manchester United is considering a purchase of 60 million pounds next summer.

Reports pointed out that under the guidance of Oliver Glasner, Walton showed outstanding performance and helped Crystal Palace win the first Community Shield in team history and qualify for the UEFA Europa League. Not only is Manchester United favoring him, but Real Madrid has also included this genius, who was hailed as "a combination of Pirlo, Modric and Kroos" by the "Daily Mail", on the inspection list.

This summer, AS reported that Real Madrid is paying attention to Walton. As the player continues to perform brilliantly in the Premier League, Xabi Alonso's coaching team has regarded him as a short-term reinforcement target. Although Real Madrid has not arranged a replacement plan for Chuameni in the 2025-26 season, Walton's name has always remained on the Bernabeu's agenda.

This season Crystal Palace has had the best start in team history. Walton, as the unshakable core of the double midfielder system, started in all 10 games. The team not only defeated Liverpool to win the Community Shield, but also locked in the UEFA Europa League qualification for the 2025-26 season, setting a club record with 19 consecutive unbeaten games.

During the international match in September, Walton unfortunately missed the England team call-up due to muscle discomfort. If not for the sudden emergence of Nottingham Forest's Elliott Anderson, he would have made his national team debut as a new coach in the Three Lions under Tuchel. His only senior national team experience so far was a pre-European Cup friendly match coached by Southgate.

Adam Walton is like a diamond in urgent need of being carved, and Real Madrid's trouble is that there are many competitors. The British "Mirror" revealed: "Manchester United is considering a purchase of 60 million pounds (approximately 70 million euros) in next summer window. Although the Red Devils have unsuccessfully pursued Brighton's Baleba this summer, Crystal Palace is in the most glorious period of team history and is unwilling to let him go easily."

Club Chairman Steve Jeff Parish admitted in an interview with talkSPORT radio: "If it cannot help him realize his Champions League dream, Adam may need to find another job in the future. But he is currently fully focused on Crystal Palace." He emphasized that the player's contract is until 2029, and "there is no pressure from the club or the player."
