they wrote.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The homegrown star was linked with a move to Inter Milan in the January transfer window and the Serie A leaders could return for the England international this summer.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There is also uncertainty over the future of Alexis Mac Allister, who has just two years remaining on his current deal.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;However, firstly, the Reds must oust Manchester United in the race for Wharton\u2019s signature.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;As well as Liverpool and United, Real Madrid are also believed to be keeping tabs on Blackbrun Rovers academy graduate Wharton ahead of their own anticipated summer shake-up.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>            Liverpool are closer to signing Eduardo Camavinga as Real Madrid would replace him with Adam Wharton<\/p>\n<p>Both Wharton and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.anfieldwatch.co.uk\/liverpool-fc\/news\/liverpool-transfer-news-richard-hughes-to-complete-stunning-eduardo-camavinga-deal\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Camavinga are extremely talented players<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>And, even though both of them are on Liverpool&#8217;s shortlist, the latter of the two would be the better option for the Anfield outfit at the moment.<\/p>\n<p>Not only can the Frenchman play as a defensive midfielder but he&#8217;s arguably one of the most versatile players in Los Blancos&#8217; squad at the moment.<\/p>\n<p>He&#8217;s also been used as a left-back by Real on many occasions which is perfect for Liverpool as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.anfieldwatch.co.uk\/liverpool-fc\/players\/andrew-robertson\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Andy Robertson<\/a> will need replacing.<\/p>\n<p>Indeed, the fee required to prise Camavinga away from the Bernabeu would be costly but, in the grand scheme of things, it would be worthwhile.<\/p>\n<p>So, if Real do sign Wharton this summer and the Frenchman is put on the transfer list, it&#8217;s a move that Liverpool should be all over, especially since he&#8217;s only 23 years old.<\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udd34 <a href=\"https:\/\/assets.ikhnaie.me\/click.html?wgcampaignid=1523405&amp;wgprogramid=7413\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Shop the LFC 2025\/26 adidas home range<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udc49\ud83c\udffb <a href=\"https:\/\/www.anfieldwatch.co.uk\/liverpool-fc\/news\/a-new-centre-back-is-coming-to-liverpool\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">A new centre-back is COMING to Liverpool<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udc49\ud83c\udffb <a href=\"https:\/\/www.anfieldwatch.co.uk\/liverpool-fc\/news\/liverpool-finally-replace-trent-alexander-arnold-with-brilliant-playmaker\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Liverpool finally replace Trent Alexander-Arnold with brilliant playmaker<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udc49\ud83c\udffb <a href=\"https:\/\/www.anfieldwatch.co.uk\/liverpool-fc\/news\/centre-back-confirms-hes-ready-to-join-liverpool\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Centre-back confirms he&#8217;s ready to join Liverpool<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u00a9 IMAGO &#8211;
