With Liverpool actively pursuing Jeremie Frimpong, it appears the club is preparing early transfer plans for the summer, with another player now reportedly on their radar.
According to Jack Gaughan from the Daily Mail, Adam Wharton could command a fee of around £60 million, and scouts from Real Madrid have recently been evaluating him. Liverpool are closely watching this situation.
The Crystal Palace midfielder has recently gained significant recognition, making him an intriguing transfer target.
Wharton first caught wider attention when he was called up to England’s Euro squad by Gareth Southgate, but his impressive performances at Blackburn Rovers had already made him stand out.
Former Blackburn manager Jon Dahl Tomasson praised the young player, calling him a “Champions League level” talent, particularly highlighting his ball skills.
Having played alongside Tyler Morton at Ewood Park, the 21-year-old is well known among Liverpool scouts.
Wharton, originally from Blackburn, was considered a potential replacement for Martin Zubimendi in the previous transfer window, so it makes sense he remains a candidate now.
While Ryan Gravenberch has performed strongly, his heavy workload this season suggests Liverpool might benefit from adding fresh midfield options like Wharton.
It remains unclear if Liverpool will be willing to compete with Real Madrid and meet a £60 million valuation.
Nonetheless, this transfer window seems like a prime opportunity for the Reds to make significant signings
