Perhaps Andoni Iraola's chaotic style could get the best out of him… Getty Images/Michael Regan/Premier League Speaking to Anfield Index on Monday, though, Lynch says that to his understanding, Wharton would not cost anything like £100m this summer.Liverpool won’t pay £100m for WhartonLynch has spoken before on Liverpool’s interest in Wharton, previously claiming that the Reds have done significant work on the England international ever since he broke onto the scene at Blackburn.This is something he has now reiterated, while also debunking claims in the press that Liverpool would need at least £100m to bring Wharton to Anfield.“I’m not sure that’s true at all, that that’s what he would go for,” Lynch said. “There was talk a while ago, which kind of tallied with my understanding of it, that he could be got for a lot less this coming summer and that was the idea he was working on with Crystal Palace and with potential suitors.”READ MORE: Liverpool’s hopes of pre-World Cup deal for Yan Diomande begin to fade as delay is explainedPhoto by Nigel French/Sportsphoto/Allstar via Getty Images“I don’t think Liverpool would pay £100m for Adam Wharton.

He does make sense at a certain number, and maybe not at another number, and I think £100m is a number that he wouldn’t make sense to Liverpool for, particularly with everything they’ve got to do this summer. I don’t think they would go near him and I don’t think he will move for that amount.

I think it will be much lower if he does move.“Liverpool have done a lot of leg work on Wharton,” the journalist added. But he is someone who is a real candidate, it’s just one of those whether the manager change has just completely shifted things on that.”How much is reasonable for Wharton?Though Lynch is adamant that Wharton will not cost at or above £100m, he does not go as far as speculating to what kind of price the midfielder would be.It has previously been claimed that Wharton could cost around £80m and perhaps this would be more palatable to Liverpool.
