Having become, for the first time in its history, the winner of the FA Cup and the Super Cup, the leading players of “Crystal Palace” have turned into a transfer target of Europe’s grand clubs. That is, demand for the “stars” in the squad of the Londoners, who wrote new trophies into the pages of their history, has sharply increased, and the attention of scouts and sporting directors is being gathered at one point.
In particular, for the midfielder Adam Wharton, who has been contributing to the team’s successes, big clubs have lined up with effort: a real scramble has begun among “Liverpool”, “Manchester City”, “Manchester United” and “Real”. The qualities of the 21-year-old talent—controlling the game’s tempo, changing direction in one move, and finding the “final pass”—make him appear even more attractive as a top-category playmaker.
“Crystal Palace”, however, well understands the difficulty of keeping its stars. It is said that this summer they planned to sell Marc Gehi and Echeberi Eze—meaning the main exits in the squad architecture will take place around these two names. Therefore, the clubs claiming Wharton may, even this summer, not hope to get the midfielder: obligations, the calendar, and financial balances are keeping Palace’s position tight.
Even so, transfer experts emphasize that the English club will not be able to keep the 21-year-old holder of talent for a long time. The market logic is simple: top-level demand, a high ticket—and the opportunity for the player to rise to a new stage. For now, the on-stage scenario is as follows: this summer Palace will decide along the Gehi–Eze line, and big moves regarding Wharton may accelerate in the coming months or in the next transfer window.
Zamin.uz’s conclusion: after a historic season, Palace has switched on the mode of defending its trophies, and the intrigue around Wharton is intensifying. The grands are in line, Palace’s position is firm—the next step will be determined by time and numbers. The intrigue is ready for the fans!
