Liverpool are in negotiations with Crystal Palace midfielder Adam Wharton ahead of the summer transfer window, according to a trusted journalist. FSG are seemingly set to keep faith with Arne Slot despite the club’s troubles on the pitch, with Liverpool reportedly set to spend around £250m on new signings. £60m has already been allocated to signing Rennes centre-back Jeremy Jacquet, who will help improve Liverpool’s defensive options after a torrid season in that department.

Liverpool are in ‘advanced’ talks with Adam Wharton According to Spanish journalist Matteo Moretto, speaking on Radio Marca, Liverpool are preparing for a busy summer to correct their course after slipping from Premier League champions to Champions League hopefuls. “The Anfield club have entered the race for Marcos Senesi , who is now a free agent, and are in advanced talks for young Adam Wharton , preempting Real Madrid’s earlier interest.

“As for the attack, after deeming the signing of Olise “impossible,” the Reds are now focusing their efforts on Yan Diomandé (RB Leipzig) or Barcola (PSG) to bolster a winger position they consider vital for next season.” Wharton is the dream homegrown signing for 2026 Liverpool are heading into a crucial window.
