Liverpool enter three-way battle for Crystal Palace’s Adam Wharton
The Mirror reports that Liverpool are now closely monitoring Wharton alongside their Premier League rivals and the Spanish giants. The 22-year-old midfielder has attracted multiple admirers after establishing himself as a key player for Palace this campaign.
Manchester United have been most heavily linked with Wharton in recent months as they seek midfield reinforcements. The Red Devils are prioritising the position following Casemiro’s announcement that he will leave Old Trafford at the end of the season.
Despite Kobbie Mainoo’s recent impressive form, United require additional experience in their engine room. Manager Erik ten Hag cannot rely solely on the young midfielder due to his lack of senior-level exposure in crucial matches.
Liverpool’s interest reflects their continued focus on investing in youth talent for future development. The Reds have already secured Jeremy Jacquet during the winter window, though the midfielder will not arrive at Anfield until the summer transfer period.
Wharton’s potential departure from Selhurst Park has been fuelled by recent uncertainty surrounding the club’s structure. Key players Eberechi Eze and Marc Guehi have both left Palace, while manager Oliver Glasner has confirmed he will not sign a new contract.
