The future of Adam Wharton is starting to take shape. The English midfielder has made it clear that he prefers to sign with Liverpool, despite the interest from Real Madrid, Chelsea, and Manchester United in signing him.

With an asking price between 60 and 70 million pounds, his transfer promises to be one of the major deals of the 2026 market.

Adam Wharton and His Rise in the Premier League

The 21-year-old midfielder has experienced meteoric growth since joining Crystal Palace in January 2024 from Blackburn Rovers. In less than two years, he has played nearly 50 official matches, establishing himself as a key player in midfield due to his ability to recover balls and organize play.

During this time, he has provided six assists and gained prominence in the English national team, attracting interest from some of Europe's most powerful clubs. His consistency has made him one of the top prospects in the Premier League, and his youth makes him even more appealing for a long-term signing.

Liverpool, Adam Wharton's Preferred Destination

Liverpool's interest has a clear rationale: Arne Slot's team needs to strengthen the defensive midfield to compete with Gravenberch. The lack of balance without possession has been a key criticism of the Anfield side.

For Wharton, the option of Liverpool represents a chance to develop in a competitive sporting project and continue evolving in the league he knows best. According to journalist Ekrem Konur, the player has already expressed his willingness to choose the Reds as his next club.

Real Madrid, Chelsea, and Manchester United in the Battle

Real Madrid sees Wharton as a future alternative to address the physical issues of Eduardo Camavinga and provide rest for Aurélien Tchouaméni. However, Wharton's prioritization of the Premier League poses an additional challenge for the Whites.

Chelsea, on the other hand, continues its strategy of nurturing young talent. Despite having Enzo Fernández and Moisés Caicedo as regular starters, the London club is not ruling out the idea of adding Wharton for the long term.

Manchester United is also closely monitoring the midfielder. With Casemiro nearing the end of his career and Manuel Ugarte not meeting expectations, Wharton emerges as an ideal choice to rejuvenate the midfield.

Crystal Palace Sets the Conditions

The board of Crystal Palace has stated its position: any club wishing to sign Wharton must pay between 60 and 70 million pounds. While this figure is significant, it is reasonable for a player with his potential and elite experience at such a young age.

Meanwhile, Wharton himself has taken a significant step by favoring Liverpool. If the deal is finalized, it would be a significant move for the Reds as they strive to compete at the highest levels in England and Europe again.
