Courted by several European big names, Adam Wharton is attracting more and more attention, which pushes Crystal Palace to react. The Eagles wish to secure the future of the 21-year-old midfielder by offering him a new upgraded contract, accompanied by a potential release clause – as was done for Eberechi Eze, according to the Daily Mail. Happy in London, Wharton only has two years left on his contract with Crystal Palace and negotiations should open soon.
Recruited for nearly 21 million euros by Crystal Palace in 2024 from Blackburn, the midfielder, now valued at 45 million per Transfermarkthas been one of the revelations of the Premier League since his arrival. Liverpool, Real Madrid – who have been following him for a year – Chelsea, Manchester City, and even Tottenham, who tried an approach at the end of last season, are closely monitoring his situation. After the departure of Eze for Arsenal this summer and the future free departure of Marc Guéhi next summer, there is no doubt that the FA Cup winners and their new sporting director Matt Hobbs want to keep one of their best elements, even if the young Dutchman Kees Smit (19 years old) is already among the options considered to replace the Englishman.
