Crystal Palace decide Adam Wharton price amid increasing interest

Adam Wharton is rapidly emerging as one of the most coveted young midfielders in the Premier League, and Crystal Palace appear to be fully aware of his potential and value.

According to TBR Football, Palace view Wharton as a generational talent, one comparable to Declan Rice when he moved to Arsenal for over £100 million.

Even Moises Caicedo joined Chelsea in a move worth over £100 million and that is also something that Palace have considered while deciding Wharton’s market value.

Crystal Palace are ready to demand massive fee for Wharton

The South London club may not have placed a formal price tag on the 21-year-old, but they clearly believe any interested party will need to pay a substantial figure if they want to prise him away, similar to what Arsenal paid for Rice and Chelsea paid for Caicedo.

While the club have not publicly set a precise price, their stance is clear, Wharton is not for sale cheaply. Indeed, discussions around his valuation suggest a fee well into nine figures in pounds.

Graeme Bailey told TBR Football:

“Whilst not putting a £100m price-tag on Wharton’s head.

“Palace firmly believe they have a player on-par with anything in the world for his age, and I don’t think many would argue.

“Palace know when he does move he will command a significant fee.”
