Hupu reported on October 9 that according to the Spanish media "AS", the media talked about the transfer situation between La Liga giants Real Madrid and Crystal Palace midfielder Walton.

According to reports, in this summer window, Real Madrid had the opportunity to strengthen the midfield but ultimately did nothing. After introducing three defenders (Carreras, Huizen, Alexander-Arnold) and a forward (Mastantono), Los Blancos regarded former Real Sociedad Suvimendi as the first choice for midfield signings, but the club was unwilling to pay 60 million euros for him. In the end, the Spanish international switched to Arsenal and showed excellent form.

Real Madrid finally gave up on the 26-year-old Basque midfielder considering his age and high transfer fee. However, the club knew that as Kroos and Modric left the team one after another, they must strengthen the core position of the midfielder as soon as possible. According to "Aspen" disclosed on August 22, 21-year-old Crystal Palace midfielder Adam Walton has become the number one target of the Galaxy Battleship.

The new England star is currently worth as much as 45 million euros, but Real Madrid learned that it would have to pay at least 80 million euros to take him away. However, for young talents who comply with the club's recruitment policy in recent years, transfer fees have never been an obstacle. Walton's contract with Crystal Palace will last until 2029. The club is aware that many European giants are eyeing him and is planning to provide improved contracts to extend the player's stay on the team as long as possible.

Real Madrid's scouting system evaluation shows that Walton's technical characteristics are very similar to Modric's: both are players with strong dynamic coverage ability and great threat from behind. Although they are left-footed players, their right-foot skills are equally superb. It is worth mentioning that he leads all midfielders in the number of major opportunities created in the Premier League so far this season.
