Crystal Palace Slap Big Fee on Wharton
Liverpool fans hoping to see Adam Wharton in red next season might need to be patient and hope the club is ready to splash serious cash. According to TEAMtalk, Crystal Palace aren’t budging unless they get over £80 million (about AU$165m) for the 21-year-old midfielder. That’s a huge number, but it makes sense considering Wharton is under contract until 2029. Reports say Liverpool had been thinking of a £50 million (AU$103m) bid, but clearly, that won’t cut it. Manchester United are also sniffing around, but insiders believe Wharton would prefer a move to Liverpool if a good enough offer comes in. Liverpool’s Desired Player Has a Huge Price Tag.
Man United Eyeing Free Agent Jonathan Tah
Speaking of United, they could be looking at a much cheaper option in defence. Bayer Leverkusen’s Jonathan Tah is set to become a free agent once the season wraps up, and Sky Sports reckons United are seriously considering a move. It won’t be a walk in the park though—Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, and Barcelona are all reportedly interested too. Tah, who’s been a rock at the back for Leverkusen over the past decade, is ready for a new challenge, and despite the competition, United believe they’ve got a solid shot at landing him.
Arsenal and PSG Battling for Ndicka
Over in Italy, Roma defender Evan Ndicka is turning heads—and it’s not just because of his Serie A form. Arsenal and PSG are already clashing in the Champions League semis, but now they’re going head-to-head for Ndicka too. The Mirror reports both clubs want the 25-year-old, who could cost up to £34 million (AU$70m). Newcastle is also said to be interested, but PSG might have an edge here. Ndicka was born in Paris, so a return home could be a tempting factor for him.
