Liverpool firm on Szoboszlai, pursue Wharton for midfield restructure

Liverpool has declared Dominik Szoboszlai not for sale, reinforcing his role as central to their midfield future. The club is reportedly focusing on acquiring Adam Wharton from Crystal Palace, with funds available to exceed £70 million. Keeping Szoboszlai is crucial as Liverpool considers potential departures of Curtis Jones to Inter Milan and Alexis Mac Allister, who faces European interest. The club aims to establish a new midfield core consisting of Szoboszlai, Ryan Gravenberch, and potentially Wharton, enhancing both flexibility and control under manager Andoni Iraola.
