The transfer window has taken another twist, with Liverpool, Manchester United, and Crystal Palace all involved.
United wanted Crystal Palace’s young midfielder **Adam Wharton** after failing to sign Brighton’s **Carlos Baleba**, but things have become complicated. Palace are already worried about losing their stars, **Marc Guehi** and **Eberechi Eze**. If they sell them, they won’t want to let Wharton go.
Here’s where Liverpool step in. Arne Slot wants Guehi to strengthen his defence, and Palace also like Liverpool’s midfielder **Harvey Elliott**. That has opened the door for a possible **swap deal** — Elliott to Palace, Guehi to Liverpool.
If that happens, Palace will almost certainly block Wharton’s move, leaving Manchester United stuck without their main target.
For Liverpool, Guehi would be a perfect signing to support Van Dijk and Konaté. For United, it could be a nightmare, forcing them to either overpay Brighton or look elsewhere.
The next few days will be crucial as the window closes, and this deal could decide the future of three clubs.
