From the source
Liverpool and Manchester United have both been handed encouragement in their pursuit of Adam Wharton, with the Crystal Palace midfielder increasingly expected to leave Selhurst Park next summer.
The 22-year-old was heavily linked with a major move during the previous transfer window, but Palace refused to sell. That stance could change in 2027, with Wharton approaching the final two years of his contract and several elite clubs continuing to monitor his situation closely.
According to Football Insider, Wharton remains likely to leave Crystal Palace next summer despite a recent dip in form. Liverpool and Man United are among the clubs maintaining serious interest, while Chelsea and Real Madrid have also tracked him.
