Adam Wharton

Recent reports from January and February 2026 consistently state Crystal Palace will demand a base fee of around £65 million (€76 million), with the total package potentially rising to £80-100 million (€94-117 million) amid a bidding war. During this period, Liverpool were reportedly prepared to pay £80 million (€94 million) and Real Madrid were said to be considering a €70-80 million offer. In late 2025, reports mentioned a potential Manchester United offer of €100 million, while Palace's valuation was cited as being in the £70 million (€82 million) range. Earlier valuations fluctuated, with some reports in late 2025 mentioning figures as low as €60 million and others as high as £150 million, though the latter appears to be an outlier. His Transfermarkt value was noted at €45 million in October 2025.

Our valuation is driven by the consistent and recent reporting of Crystal Palace's high asking price for Adam Wharton, coupled with confirmed interest from multiple top-tier clubs in England and Europe. His long-term contract until 2029 gives Palace a very strong negotiating position. The most credible rumours from early 2026 place the expected fee in a range of approximately €75 million to €100 million, depending on the intensity of the expected bidding war.
