Liverpool have been urged to sign Crystal Palace metronome Adam Wharton despite the Reds seemingly not planning any midfield signings this summer. Signing Bradley Barcola from PSG is Liverpool’s priority this summer, with the French winger agreeing personal terms with the Reds last week as he waits for the two clubs to agree on a transfer fee amid PSG’s £145m asking price.

Liverpool urged to splash £85m-£100m on signing Adam Wharton Peterborough United chairman Darragh MacAnthony, who is a boyhood Liverpool supporter, has urged Liverpool to sign Wharton, stating that the money involved should be of no concern given how talented the Palace star is. Even if he costs £85m-£100m or whatever else, you’re getting the player for the long-term.” Liverpool don’t appear to be in the market for a new midfielder regardless of how good Wharton is Wharton would be a wonderful player for Liverpool, particularly given how he suits the Andoni Iraola brand of football, but the Reds don’t appear to be all that concerned with signing new midfielders this summer.

Liverpool haven’t been concretely linked with signing a midfielder so far this summer, which may be a concern given the lethargy that crept into the engine room last season. The Hungarian is said to be earning around £300,000 per week now, befitting his status as one of the world’s best midfielders, and he will star in Iraola’s new-look Liverpool team.
