Liverpool are said to be one of the top clubs ‘monitoring’ the situation around one Crystal Palace star.

The Reds’ summer transfer window is already in full swing, despite the fact that there are still two crucial Premier League games to be played this season.

The Reds face Brighton on Monday before the final game of the season against FA Cup finalists Crystal Palace at Anfield next Sunday.

However, with the league title already in the bag, Arne Slot’s side could be forgiven for taking a short holiday break within the week.

While Slot went to Ibiza, we exclusively revealed that the rest of the first team players went to Dubai for a farewell party for the departing Trent Alexander-Arnold.

But while Slot and his boys are taking a break, there appears to be little rest for Liverpool scouts and decision makers, who remain alert and watchful as they prepare for what has been widely expected to be a busy summer.

Several key positions within the squad are expected to be strengthened, and the ideal players Slot needs for the upgrade are being identified.

One of the players Liverpool are looking to bring in this summer is Crystal Palace star Adam Wharton.

The former Blackburn Rovers star has been on Liverpool’s radar for some time now.

The Reds were watching him when he was still at Rovers, before his £22 million transfer to Palace after fewer than 50 Championship games.

And now, according to Daily Mail’s Jack Gaughan, Liverpool’s interest has remained, and they are monitoring his situation at Palace ahead of a potential summer transfer.

Gaughan reports that “Liverpool are monitoring the situation” closely, and that Real Madrid scouts have also made checks in recent weeks.

The report also claims that “Wharton could fetch around £60m,” which is triple the price Palace invested in signing him a few months ago.

Wharton’s quality and age align with the Reds’ recent transfer approach: young, high-ceiling talents with the capacity to become elite under structured coaching.

The Englishman is a tactically sharp No?

6 with a creative edge, which could make him an ideal long-term successor to players like Alexis Mac Allister or Wataru End?.
