"The Crystal Palace and England midfielder is supposedly loved by key figures at Old Trafford as a big move seems inevitable for him sooner or later. According to TEAMtalk, United would be determined to hijack any Chelsea bid for Wharton, who is loved by Ruben Amorim and his staff. The report goes on to suggest that Wharton's asking price could be as high as 70m, and that getting him out of Selhurst Park in January won't be easy."
"Adam Wharton in action for Crystal Palace (Photo by Michael Regan/Getty Images) Can Man United or Chelsea win the race for Adam Wharton? It surely won't be easy getting a deal done for Wharton, with Palace sure to try their best to keep hold of the talented youngster for as long as possible, while other big clubs could also join the race for his signature."
Manchester United and Chelsea are the main clubs pursuing Crystal Palace midfielder Adam Wharton, with Old Trafford figures reportedly keen to sign him. Crystal Palace are unlikely to sell Wharton during the January window and may demand a fee around 70m to release him. United would rival Chelsea for any bid, while Real Madrid and other major clubs have shown interest. Chelsea present a project focused on young talent but already have Enzo Fernandez and Moises Caicedo, which could limit Wharton's starting opportunities. Manchester United could offer a clearer pathway to a central role amid possible departures.
