Liverpool get Adam Wharton green light as talks commence with England midfielder
Big changes are coming to the Liverpool midfield this summer.
Alexis Mac Allister is among the candidates to leave due to his uncertain contract situation. No talks over a new deal have been instigated by the club with the Argentina FIFA World Cup winner and his current contract expires in 2028.
If no new deal is agreed then it is easy to see the temptation for selling the 27-year-old. Curtis Jones now looks very close to joining Inter Milan.
Jones out, Wharton in
Talks are ongoing for the 25-year-old - even if the two clubs remain apart on the valuation. If one or more of Liverpool’s current midfield options end up leaving then quality players will be required this summer.
Andoni Iraola and Richard Hughes have been running the rule over a plethora of midfield targets - including Alex Scott of Bournemouth and Crystal Palace’s Adam Wharton.
Liverpool hold talks with Wharton
Now a report claims in TEAMtalk that talks have been opened with Wharton over the terms of a summer deal.
“Liverpool remain among the player’s strongest admirers and have held talks with Wharton’s camp in recent weeks as they assess options to strengthen Andoni Iraola’s midfield,” the report reads.
Wharton has been in impressive form since leaving Blackburn for the Eagles in 2024.

Wharton destined to move on this summer
The schemer has won the FA Cup and the UEFA Europa Conference League with his side and could be a valuable asset in the transfer market.
Fees as high as £100m have been discussed for the England international who is under contract until 2029.
Those swelling valuations may end up putting Liverpool off with the outgoing Premier League champions keen not to overpay for English talent.
“Liverpool have already expressed concerns internally about escalating domestic transfer fees,” the report states.
