Liverpool unlikely to pursue Adam Wharton amid Curtis Jones exit
Summary

Liverpool is not expected to make a late-summer move for Adam Wharton despite Curtis Jones's impending transfer to Inter Milan. Journalist Lewis Steele stated that the club is unlikely to search for a replacement before the September 1 deadline, even as other midfielders are suggested. Crystal Palace has sought a significant fee of around £100 million for Wharton, and Liverpool has shown no interest. The team has been cautious after their previous failed attempt to sign Marc Guehi from Palace. Liverpool may not make a bid for Wharton, but his skills could benefit their midfield.
