Crystal Palace are stepping up their efforts to secure the long-term future of one of their brightest young stars.
The club have reportedly made a phenomenal new contract offer to Adam Wharton, in response to increasing interest from some of the world’s top clubs.
Liverpool, Manchester United and Real Madrid are keeping a close eye on the young English midfielder and that is why Palace are working hard to secure a new contract for the youngster.
Wharton has quickly established himself as a key ingredient in Palace’s recent success.
Crystal Palace are ready to offer Wharton a new deal
Palace recognize this and are now reportedly prepared to reward him with a contract extension that reflects both his current importance and future potential.
According to Alan NixonPalace are offering Wharton a new contract, but the midfielder wants a release clause for a fixed fee to sign the new deal.
As Wharton’s form has improved, so has the attention from top clubs. There are already rumors of interest from the likes of Liverpool and Manchester United, who see him as a next-generation midfield talent.
Real Madrid and Bayern Munich are also keeping a close eye on Wharton’s situation, and the introduction of a release clause could prove to be a mutually beneficial solution.
Wharton wants an exit clause in the contract
Although the young midfielder would be content with life at Selhurst Park, including such a clause in a new deal would give him the flexibility to explore a high-profile transfer in the future without complications.
A figure in the region of £70 million to £75 million is being discussed as a reasonable compromise, one that would handsomely reward Palace for nurturing one of the Premier League’s brightest young talents, while giving potential suitors a clear benchmark to meet.
This would be a move that would balance Wharton’s ambitions with the club’s desire to be properly compensated if he were to leave in the future.
