Brilliant £70M midfielder closing in on big move to join Slot at Liverpool
Crystal Palace midfielder Adam Wharton is reportedly edging closer to a potential summer move to Liverpool, with new reports suggesting the Merseyside club are among the frontrunners to sign the highly rated England international.
According to sources cited by Football Insider, LIVERPOOL have been monitoring Wharton closely ahead of the upcoming transfer window, with the midfielder emerging as one of the club’s primary midfield targets. Rival interest from Manchester United and other European sides could set up a fierce transfer battle in the coming months.
Wharton has enjoyed a rapid rise since joining Crystal Palace, establishing himself as one of the most promising midfielders in the Premier League. Known for his composure on the ball and ability to dictate the tempo of matches from deep midfield, the England international has become a central figure in Palace’s setup.
Reports suggest Liverpool view Wharton as a player capable of bringing greater control and balance to their midfield unit. With manager Arne Slot looking to strengthen key areas of the squad ahead of next season, the club is believed to be prioritising quality additions rather than a large number of signings.
However, securing Wharton’s signature will likely require a significant financial commitment. Palace are reportedly prepared to demand at least £70 million for the midfielder, reflecting both his long-term contract — which runs until 2029 — and the growing interest from several elite clubs.
The London club are still hopeful of keeping the midfielder beyond the summer and are aware that interest in their star player is intensifying. Nevertheless, insiders suggest that if a major bid arrives, Palace could face increasing pressure to consider offers for one of their most valuable assets.
For LIVERPOOL, the potential deal fits into a broader strategy aimed at securing emerging talent capable of shaping the club’s midfield for years to come. Wharton’s technical ability, vision and Premier League experience have made him a standout candidate for that role.
While no formal agreement has been reached, the growing speculation around Wharton’s future suggests the race for his signature could become one of the most closely watched transfer stories when the summer window opens.
