Crystal Palace midfielder Adam Wharton has become one of the most in-demand young talents in European football. The 21-year-old, who joined from Blackburn Rovers in February last year, has impressed with his composure, technical ability, and control in midfield.
Despite limited appearances this season due to a groin injury, Wharton’s potential has not gone unnoticed. Palace have placed a £70 million valuation on him, refusing to accept anything lower. If multiple clubs enter the race, his price could increase significantly.
His rapid rise led to a call-up to the England squad last year, where he made his senior debut. Though he was part of England’s Euro 2024 squad, he did not feature during the tournament.
Crystal Palace’s investment in Wharton is set to yield significant returns if they decide to sell. They initially signed him for £18 million, potentially rising to £22 million with add-ons, making a £70 million sale a massive profit.
With elite clubs monitoring his situation closely, a summer move looks increasingly likely. Whether he stays at Palace or secures a high-profile transfer, Wharton’s future is set to be a major talking point in the upcoming window.
