Liverpool are prepared to sell midfielder Alexis Mac Allister to help fund a £100m transfer for Crystal Palace star Adam Wharton.

The Argentine international was a crucial figure during the club’s recent title-winning campaign.

However, his domestic form has significantly dipped during a challenging 2025-26 season at Anfield.

As a result, the Merseyside outfit are actively exploring ways to reshape their squad under new manager Andoni Iraola.

Palace demand premium fee

Crystal Palace have placed a £100m valuation on Wharton to deter potential suitors.

The England international is widely regarded as one of the finest ball-progressing midfielders in the top flight.

Iraola reportedly views the highly-rated prospect as the ideal candidate to revitalise his tactical system.

Transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano has indicated that initial discussions regarding the player have already taken place.

Midfield clear-out looms

Securing the young playmaker will heavily depend on generating substantial transfer revenue from outgoing personnel.

Alongside the former Brighton star, academy graduate Curtis Jones could also be allowed to depart the club this summer.

Atletico Madrid have registered an early interest in acquiring the South American World Cup winner.

The Spanish giants are yet to submit a formal bid and continue to evaluate alternative targets across Europe.

Meeting the £100m asking price for Wharton ultimately remains a significant hurdle for the Reds’ recruitment team.
