Liverpool FC NewsTransfer NewsTransfersCrystal Palace midfielder Adam Wharton is a name to watch this summer transfer window, with Liverpool eyeing a potential deal for the 22-year-old starAdam Wharton is on the radar of several big Premier League clubs this summer(Image: Photo by ANP via Getty Images)Crystal Palace standout Adam Wharton could be on the move this summer, and Liverpool is one of several Premier League clubs believed to be after his signature.The 22-year-old midfielder has been a key cog in Crystal Palace’s stellar run of three trophies in less than two years, most recently putting in a man-of-the-match performance in the UEFA Conference League final against Rayo Vallecano on Wednesday.Although he was snubbed by Thomas Tuchel and will not be part of England’s 26-man World Cup squad this summer, Wharton is still viewed as one of the top young talents in the country. Crystal Palace is reportedly plotting to stop a potential transfer and keep Wharton at the club for at least another season.The betting odds for Wharton’s next team suggest he will stay at the South London club amid interest from Liverpool and Manchester United.Crystal Palace currently has -500 odds to retain Wharton this summer, as it does not appear imminent that he will join a new club.The Eagles confirming their place in next season’s Europa League likely only strengthens their chances of retaining their star defensive midfielder as the club enters a new era with manager Oliver Glasner set to depart.Wharton helped Crystal Palace win the Conference League title(Image: Photo by Kevin Voigt/GettyImages)Those odds can change rapidly, however, especially if one of the big hitters in England chooses to step up their pursuit.Manchester United owns a +600 shot to sign him, although his playing style is believed to be similar to fellow England central midfielder Kobbie Mainoo, which could ultimately deter Michael Carrick and company from pushing for a transfer.That could bode well for Liverpool, currently priced at +700 to become Wharton’s next club.
With the futures of Curtis Jones and Alexis Mac Allister up in the air, signing a new central midfielder is considered a strong priority for FSG and Arne Slot ahead of the 2026-27 campaign.Chelsea are level with the Reds at +700 to sign Wharton, followed closely by Manchester City and Real Madrid at +800 apiece.A trio of Premier League sides follows, with Arsenal, Newcastle United, and Tottenham all priced at +1000 to agree to a transfer for Wharton.Crystal Palace is expected to command a fee upwards of $105 million (~£80 million) for their star midfielder, which is a hefty chunk of change for any club to come get him.This information is intended for informational and entertainment purposes only and should not be relied upon for financial reasons or to determine a specific course of action.
