Fabrizio Romano has revealed Manchester United’s chances of signing Adam Wharton from Crystal Palace in the January transfer window – and it is NOT good news for the Old Trafford faithful.
Wharton is one of the best and most dynamic midfielders in the Premier League and is a key target for Man Utd in 2026. Man Utd wanted to sign the Crystal Palace midfielder in the summer transfer window, but the Eagles were clear in their stance that the England international was not for sale.
Sources have told TEAMtalk’s transfer correspondent, Fraser Fletcher, that Man Utd are determined to bring Wharton to Old Trafford in the January transfer window.
Man Utd manager Ruben Amorim wants to sign a new midfielder, and while there is interest in Brighton and Hove Albion star Carlos Baleba, Wharton is also on the Red Devils’ wishlist.
Sources have also told TEAMtalk that Chelsea are keen on Wharton, but Crystal Palace are determined to keep the 21-year-old midfielder until next summer at least.
That stance of Palace has now been confirmed by transfer guru Fabrizio Romano, who reported on Monday evening that last season’s FA Cup winners have “no intention” whatsoever to negotiate any deal for Wharton in the middle of the season.
Romano said on his YouTube channel: “For January, Palace have no intention to negotiate.
“They want Adam Wharton to stay at the club and to be a really important part of the story.”
Wharton joined Palace in February 2024 and is under contract at the London club until the summer of 2029.
The midfielder has made 53 appearances for Palace so far, giving six assists in the process.
