Real Madrid may feature a strong English contingent in their starting lineup next season.
Reportedly, the Spanish giants are interested in acquiring both Trent Alexander-Arnold and Adam Wharton.
England national team star Jude Bellingham has already become a key player for Real Madrid.
Bellingham moved to Spain from Borussia Dortmund in July 2023 for £115 million.
Since then, he has become a standout player for England, helping the team reach the Euro final last season.
Bellingham might be joined in Madrid by two familiar English faces this summer.
Trent Alexander-Arnold, 26, a close friend of Bellingham, was a transfer target for Real Madrid during the January window.
His contract with Liverpool is expiring soon, and Carlo Ancelotti is reportedly interested in signing the defender.
Liverpool already has a replacement in Conor Bradley, who is expected to receive a significant pay raise.
Crystal Palace midfielder Wharton is also being closely watched by Real Madrid scouts.
After recovering from a groin surgery, the 21-year-old Wharton has shown impressive performances since his £22m move from Blackburn to Crystal Palace in January 2024.
Real Madrid’s chief scout Juni Calafat is reportedly a big admirer of Wharton.
Wharton is likely to be included in Thomas Tuchel’s England squad later this month, along with Bellingham.
Real Madrid veterans Luka Modric and Lucas Vazquez will be out of contract this summer.
Wharton and Alexander-Arnold are seen as potential replacements for these departing players.
However, acquiring these three England players would be a significant financial investment for Real Madrid.
Wharton is also attracting interest from Manchester United and Liverpool.
His transfer value is estimated to be around £70 million, according to ESPN reports.
If these transfers happen, Real Madrid’s lineup could feature a strong English core next season.
In a possible starting XI, Thibaut Courtois, formerly of Chelsea, would be in goal.
Alexander-Arnold could play at right-back, alongside defenders Raul Asencio, Aurelien Tchouameni, and Ferland Mendy.
In midfield, Wharton could team up with Bellingham and Brahim Diaz.
The attacking trio could consist of Vinicius Jr, Kylian Mbappe, and Rodrygo.
