Liverpool have been lining up the classy passer for months but they would also prefer to wait after big changes to their squad this summer. Wharton forced his way into England's Euro 2024 squad after joining Palace but was frustrated by injuries last season, missing three months after a groin operation in November. Palace do not want to lose Wharton now as they face Marc Guehi and Eberechi Eze being sold before the window shuts on September 1.

Having agreed a £65 million per year deal with the German company in 2019, City's new arrangement is believed to be worth a £100 million per year until 2035, according to British media reports.

Eberechi Eze to Arsenal set for talks as Gunner plot move for £68 million Crystal Palace winger
Arsenal are preparing to open talks with Crystal Palace over the potential signing of England international Eberechi Eze, as the club's summer transfer strategy gathers pace. Sources indicate that preliminary discussions have already taken place on the player's side over the past fortnight, involving senior figures within Arsenal's recruitment and football operations teams. Eze, 27, is understood to be open to the move, and personal terms are not expected to present any complications. While Eze has a £68 million release clause in his current contract, Arsenal are expected to engage Palace this week to explore whether a deal could be agreed without activating the full clause. The attacking midfielder netted eight goals and registered eight assists in the Premier League last season and is viewed by Mikel Arteta's side as a central creative option rather than a wide player. Arsenal set to make Eberechi Eze approach but remain keen on stunning trio of talentshttps:// — talkSPORT (@talkSPORT) July 14, 2025 Arsenal's pursuit of Eze comes alongside the imminent arrival of Noni Madueke from Chelsea. The winger has reportedly passed his medical ahead of a £52 million move and is considered versatile enough to cover both flanks. His arrival is seen as complementary rather than conflicting, as the Gunners look to strengthen centrally with Eze. In addition to Eze, Arsenal retain interest in several high-profile targets. Real Madrid's Rodrygo, Newcastle winger Anthony Gordon, and AC Milan's Rafael Leão remain on the club's radar. However, any move for that trio is likely to depend on outgoings, specifically Leandro Trossard or Gabriel Martinelli. A deal for Sporting striker Viktor Gyökeres is also close to completion, as per veteran sports journalist Fabrizio Romano. 🚨🔴⚪️ Negotiations between Arsenal and Sporting remain ongoing in London with all parties involved. After commission reduced by agent plus €63.5m fee ready, Sporting ask for €10m add-ons to be easy/guaranteed. Arsenal and agents remain in talks to get the final green light. — Fabrizio Romano (@FabrizioRomano) July 14, 2025 The Gunners are expected to pay €63.5 million plus €10 million in add-ons, after a compromise was reached involving a waived agent commission. The final package matches Sporting's valuation while simplifying the transaction. Arsenal have also agreed terms with Valencia for 19-year-old defender Cristhian Mosquera in a deal worth nearly €20 million. The Spain youth international is expected to be officially unveiled soon. These moves follow the arrivals of Real Sociedad midfielder Martín Zubimendi for £55.8 million and Brentford's Christian Nørgaard, who joined last week in a deal rising to £12 million. Kepa Arrizabalaga was signed from Chelsea for £5 million after a successful loan spell at Bournemouth, where he kept eight clean sheets. With the additions of Madueke, Gyökeres, and Mosquera imminent, Arsenal's summer spending is set to surpass the £200 million mark. Outgoings have been relatively limited. Nuno Tavares has completed a permanent switch to Lazio, while Brazilian winger Marquinhos has joined Cruzeiro for a reported £3 million.
