Adam Wharton wants to play in the Champions League but is committed to Crystal Palace, says club owner Steve Parish.

The midfielder is the subject of interest from Real Madrid, Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United, Chelsea, and Tottenham after impressing at Selhurst Park.

But Palace are planning to give him an improved contract and potentially a hefty release clause, as Daily Mail Sport has reported, and Parish believes he can achieve his lofty ambitions in south London. 

He cost Palace a bargain £18million from Blackburn in 2024 and is now valued around £75m. The 21-year-old has added an FA Cup to his CV and is playing Europa Conference League football.

The Mirror have reported that Man United are plotting a £60m swoop but Palace have a firm hand for now considering he is tied down until 2029.

Parish told talkSPORT: 'I think Adam at some point will want to play either in the Champions League with us, if we can make that happen, or probably with another club.
