The club has made a decision after Liverpool and Manchester United expressed interest in the "hot prospect" player this summer.
On 10 June 2026, Alan Nixon, a reporter from the well-known sports media Give Me Sport, reported that Crystal Palace has set a transfer fee for their key midfielder Adam Wharton, following news that several Premier League clubs are keen to sign him.
Adam Wharton, 22 years old, has become a player desired by many clubs after an outstanding performance, leading Crystal Palace to win three trophies in the last two seasons: the FA Cup, the Community Shield, and the UEFA Conference League.
Moreover, Adam Wharton was named in the England national team that finished as runners-up at Euro 2024. Although he did not make the final 26-man squad for the 2026 World Cup under Thomas Tuchel, he remains a target for Liverpool, Manchester United, and Chelsea.
Recently, Alan Nixon revealed that Crystal Palace will only consider selling Adam Wharton if they receive an offer of no less than £100 million, due to his young age and contract running until June 2029.
Additionally, Crystal Palace wants Adam Wharton to be a key figure leading the team in their first-ever UEFA Europa League campaign next season, under new manager Pierre Saha from Lens, who has agreed to replace Oliver Glasner.
This means Liverpool, Manchester United, and Chelsea must be prepared to invest heavily if they want to sign Adam Wharton, as Crystal Palace does not want to lose this vital player during the summer unless they receive a satisfactory offer.
