Overview
- Multiple outlets report that Adam Wharton is expected to leave Crystal Palace in the summer, with coverage citing a price tag in the region of £80 million.
- Liverpool kept close tabs on the 22-year-old during Palace’s recent match at Anfield, and former Man United chief scout Mick Brown said the club could now push to sign him.
- Manchester United, Manchester City and Real Madrid have sent scouts to watch Wharton, according to Football Insider’s reporting on club monitoring.
- CaughtOffside relays that Palace may struggle to keep the England midfielder given previous key departures and uncertainty around manager Oliver Glasner, with any deal likely to require a large fee.
- Wharton has logged 45 appearances and seven assists this season per Transfermarkt, and Liverpool’s interest comes as reports suggest they could refresh midfield options if Alexis Mac Allister is tempted away.
