# Liverpool Transfer Update on Adam Wharton a Boost For Crystal Palace Fans

**Crystal Palace have been handed a timely Adam Wharton transfer boost after fresh reporting cast doubt on Liverpool entering the race for the midfielder this summer.**

[This Is Anfield](https://www.thisisanfield.com/2026/06/adam-wharton-liverpool-transfer-update-crystal-palace-2026/), relaying comments from transfer journalist Ben Jacobs on talkSPORT, reports that it would now be a surprise if Liverpool made a move for Wharton, despite long-standing admiration and previous contact around a potential Selhurst Park switch.

The report adds that Wharton has been valued at upwards of **£80 million**, with the figure potentially rising as high as **£100 million**. For Palace, that stance matters. The 22-year-old remains one of the most valuable assets in Pierre Sage’s squad, and any cooling of Liverpool’s position strengthens the club’s hand before the market properly accelerates.

## Wharton Valuation Gives Palace Control

Wharton joined Palace from Blackburn Rovers in February 2024 on a five-and-a-half-year contract, with the club’s [official profile](https://www.cpfc.co.uk/teams/first-team/midfielder/adam-wharton/) underlining both his rise and his 2026 UEFA Conference League final player-of-the-match honour.

That is why Palace can afford to hold firm. Read Crystal Palace has already tracked the wider [Palace transfer picture](https://readcrystalpalace.com/2026/06/23/live-crystal-palace-transfer-centre-transfer-news-rumours-updates/), but Wharton’s situation sits in a different category. Unless a club reaches elite-money territory, the smarter play is obvious: keep Sage’s midfield cornerstone in south London.
