Crystal Palace star wants exit clause in his new contract

"Crystal Palace are stepping up efforts to secure the long-term future of one of their brightest young stars. The club has reportedly tabled a phenomenal new contract offer to Adam Wharton, in response to mounting interest from some of the top clubs in the world. Liverpool, Manchester United, and Real Madrid are all 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."

"Palace recognise this, and are now reportedly ready to reward him with a contract extension that reflects both his current importance and future potential. According to Alan Nixon, Palace are offering Wharton a new contract but the midfielder wants a fixed-fee release clause to sign the new deal. As Wharton's form has elevated, so too has the attention from top clubs."

"Rumours are already swirling about interest from Liverpool and Manchester United, among others, who view him as a next-generation midfield talent. Real Madrid and Bayern Munich are also closely monitoring Wharton's situation, and the introduction of a release clause could prove to be a mutually beneficial solution. While the young midfielder is said to 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 move in the future without complications."

Crystal Palace are pursuing a new long-term contract for Adam Wharton to reflect his growing importance and potential. The club have put forward a significant extension while Wharton seeks a fixed-fee release clause to approve the deal. Top clubs including Liverpool, Manchester United, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich are monitoring Wharton as his form rises. A release clause in the region of £70–75 million is under discussion as a compromise that would reward Palace for development and provide interested suitors with a clear transfer benchmark. The clause would allow Wharton future flexibility while ensuring substantial compensation for the club.
