Liverpool is preparing a £ 50 million-plus bid to sign Crystal Palace midfielder Adam Wharton this summer. The 21-year-old, praised for his passing vision and quick distribution, has emerged as a top target to strengthen Arne Slot’s midfield.
Since joining Palace from Blackburn in 2024, Wharton has shown strong potential, although injuries, including a groin operation in November, have limited his appearances this season. Wharton forced his way into England’s Euro 2024 squad but missed crucial months due to injury. Now fully fit, he has played consistently since his return. Liverpool hopes to entice the midfielder, highlighting Champions League football and a clear development path.
However, Palace, facing significant summer interest in their squad, are set to demand a high fee, especially as Wharton still has over four years left on his contract. Blackburn is entitled to 15% of the profit from any sale above the initial £18m fee. Bayern Munich and Real Madrid are also admirers, though their interest remains tentative due to his injury record.
