Liverpool hold keen interest in signing Adam Wharton

Liverpool ‘hold a keen interest’ in Adam Wharton, with the Reds looking to bolster their midfield set-up, according to the Daily Mail.

He could be on the transfer shortlist this summer at Anfield.

Liverpool need reinforcement in the engine room as they look to find their missing spark following a mixed start to the season, and Wharton can be their man.

The Crystal Palace star has created the most big chances in the Premier League this season (five), including two as the Eagles beat Liverpool 2-1 days ago.

The Merseyside giants could use his calmness and control in midfield, as Florian Wirtz struggles to adapt to the Premier League.

Liverpool midfielder Alexis Mac Allister has also been disappointing, failing to hit the heights of last season.

Chelsea and Manchester City are also interested in the Liverpool target.

Tottenham Hotspur approached the end of last season, while Real Madrid have monitored him closely over the past year.

Bayern Munich also compiled detailed reports and made enquiries about the Crystal Palace ace, who was signed from Blackburn Rovers for a bargain £18 million in 2024.

He is now valued at around £75 million, but Crystal Palace, aware of the growing queue of admirers, are already moving to secure their prized asset.

The South London club are preparing to offer Wharton improved terms and a potential release clause as part of a new deal.

This new control will reward his rapid rise and safeguard his long-term value.

Newly appointed sporting director Matt Hobbs is taking the lead on the project, determined to strengthen and protect Oliver Glasner’s squad after a frustrating summer in which Palace missed out on several key targets.

The aim now is to ensure that, even if Wharton’s trajectory continues to attract Europe’s elite, such as Liverpool, Palace remain in control of his future.
