One reason for Wharton's potential decision is the financial aspect. Blackburn Rovers, the club that sold Wharton to Palace in January 2024 for £18m, will receive a 15% share of any profit if Wharton is sold in the future.
Despite the interest from other clubs, Wharton appears to be happy at Crystal Palace and willing to commit to the team for another season. This news is a relief for the Eagles, who are eager to keep hold of their key players, including Wharton, Ebere Eze, and Marc Guehi.
