Crystal Palace set Wharton asking price amid Liverpool enquiry
Crystal Palace will demand the bidding starts at £80m for Adam Wharton after Liverpool enquired about the midfielder.
Liverpool want Wharton as part of a midfield refresh this summer, with doubts over the futures of Curtis Jones and Alexis Mac Allister. Jones will enter the final 12 months of his deal in the summer and Aston Villa are monitoring his situation.
