The England international has been heavily linked with a summer move away from Crystal Palace. Tottenham Hotspur have also expressed interest in the player. However, sources reveal that Wharton is happy to stay at Selhurst Park for another season to fully regain his fitness.
Liverpool are reportedly comfortable with this arrangement and willing to wait until next summer to complete the deal.
At just 21 years old, Wharton is a Blackburn academy graduate who joined Crystal Palace in the winter of 2024 for €21.1 million. His impressive performances in the opening six months secured him a call-up to the England squad for Euro 2024, where he appeared in one match.
Unfortunately, his season was disrupted by two injuries that sidelined him for roughly three months in total. Across the campaign, he featured in 27 games and contributed two assists. Transfermarkt currently values the midfielder at €45 million.
