Overview

• Liverpool, Manchester United and Chelsea are the leading Premier League suitors, with Newcastle also exploring a deal, according to TeamTalk reports echoed this week.
• Palace are described as reluctant to sanction a mid‑season sale and have Wharton under a long contract, with reported valuations ranging from about £60m to £69m.
• Manchester United have placed Wharton at the top of a three‑man January shortlist that also includes Carlos Baleba and Ruben Neves, though a winter transfer is considered difficult.
• Fabrizio Romano has suggested interest from Premier League sides and Real Madrid points to a move after the World Cup, noting the player stayed this summer to focus on Palace.
• A Spanish report cited by CaughtOffside claims Real Madrid could bid around €60m, though any such offer remains unconfirmed and may fall short of Palace’s expectations.
