According to sources, Crystal Palace have accepted that Adam Wharton will leave the club at the end of the season. Multiple top-six clubs have registered firm interest ahead of the summer window. Aston Villa have monitored Adam Wharton, aiming to strengthen their squad for sustained Champions League contention. Wharton’s valuation has fluctuated, and sources state that Palace will demand a base fee of approximately £65 million, with add-ons.

Aston Villa and other Premier League clubs, including Arsenal, Chelsea, and Liverpool, have expressed interest in Wharton following his impressive performances for Crystal Palace. Crystal Palace, however, is reluctant to sell the talented midfielder. Manchester City has also scouted Wharton, with Pep Guardiola reportedly admiring his skills. In response to the increasing interest, Crystal Palace is ready to present Wharton with a new and improved contract to deter potential suitors, underscoring the mounting competition among top clubs for his signature.
