Crystal Palace star Adam Wharton has reportedly made a key decision regarding a potential move to Liverpool.

The midfielder has been heavily linked with a switch to Anfield, while Tottenham are also interested in signing him. 

Palace are eager not to lose Wharton this summer, especially given that Marc Guehi and Eberechi Eze could depart before the closure of the transfer window.

As reported by The Sun, Wharton is willing to stay at Palace this season, which would mean that Liverpool would be the favourites to sign him.

Wharton joined Palace in February 2024 from Blackburn, who would be entitled to 15 per cent of the fee from his next move.

Since signing for Palace Wharton has made 43 appearances, although he missed a significant part of last season due to groin surgery.

The 21-year-old is known for his excellent passing and technical ability.

Wharton made his senior England debut against Bosnia and Herzegovina in June 2024 and was subsequently named in the Three Lions’ Euro 2024 squad. However, he didn’t feature at the tournament.

Liverpool have been heavily active in the transfer market this summer, securing deals for Florian Wirtz, Jeremie Frimpong and Milos Kerkez.

The Reds would be willing to wait until next year if it means that they can secure a deal for Wharton.

Bayern Munich and Real Madrid have also monitored Wharton’s progress.

However, his struggles with injury last season mean they haven’t pursued a move for him.
