With the 21-year-old England Hope Star Adam Walton shining on the Community Shield, he soon became a hot item in the European transfer market this summer. Up to now, five top European giants including Real Madrid, Liverpool, Manchester United, Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur have sent olive branches to Adam Walton.

Adam Walton's emergence was no accident. Last season, the English youngster made 27 appearances for Crystal Palace in various competitions, 21 of which were the starters and contributed 3 assists. The data performance looks a bit mediocre, but it hides his surprising growth trajectory. From his youthfulness when he first entered the Premier League to his ability to control the rhythm of the midfield in key battles, Adam Walton's progress has been praised by Daily Mail reporter Simon Jones, who believes that he may become a generation of midfielder in England in the future.
Tottenham was the first club to take action against Adam Walton. As early as before the FA Cup final in May, they asked Crystal Palace Club for the price. Although the agreement was not reached, the continued attention showed that the Tottenham executives were eager to strengthen the midfield. The addition of Liverpool, Manchester United and Manchester City make this battle even more gunpowder. Liverpool needs to inject vitality into the midfield, Manchester United under Amorin is eager for technical midfielders to connect offense and defense, and Manchester City is trying to continue the tradition of "stocking" young talents. Walton's comprehensive technical characteristics can just meet the tactical needs of different giants.

The one who most wants to get Adam Walton is undoubtedly the La Liga giants Real Madrid. Real Madrid never easily chases young players, and once they take action, they often mean a high recognition of the players' talent and potential. Walton's overall view, passing accuracy and defensive resilience in the midfield allowed Real Madrid to vaguely see the shadow of the young version of Tony Cross. For Real Madrid, signing the England star may be a strategic investment with a focus on the next five years.
It is reported that Adam Walton's current German turnover price is 45 million euros. But his actual price may exceed 80 million euros. For a midfielder who is only 21 years old and has not had much highlights in his past, this price is not cheap. However, considering the current premium in the transfer market and the future upward space for players, this price is quite cost-effective. Although the Crystal Palace Club is unwilling to let go of the core, it is difficult to remain unmoved when facing a offer that may exceed 80 million euros. Because once this fund is cashed out, it will be enough to support the Crystal Palace team to complete the reconstruction of half of the team.

In the end, who will the 21-year-old Adam Walton fall into? It can be said to be full of variables, we can only wait and see.
