It’s Official: Adam Wharton Rejects Manchester United and Spurs, Signs 4-Year Crystal Palace Extension
In a stunning twist that’s sent shockwaves through Premier League circles, Crystal Palace midfield prodigy Adam Wharton has officially rejected mega-money offers from Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur, instead committing his future to the Eagles. Just 10 minutes ago, Palace confirmed that Wharton has signed a new 4-year contract, keeping him at Selhurst Park until 2029.
The 20-year-old sensation, who joined Palace from Blackburn Rovers in January 2024, has become an indispensable figure under manager Oliver Glasner. His composure, tactical intelligence, and fearless displays in midfield have earned him comparisons to some of the league’s finest, and it’s no surprise top clubs were circling.
Sources suggest both United and Spurs were ready to offer Wharton lucrative long-term deals worth up to £150,000 per week. But in a powerful statement of loyalty, Wharton turned them down—prioritizing his development and bond with the club over financial gain.
“This club believed in me,” Wharton said in a brief but emotional statement. “I’m proud to wear the shirt and fight for the badge. There’s so much more to achieve here.”
The news has electrified Crystal Palace supporters, who see Wharton not just as a top talent, but as the heartbeat of a new era. With Eberechi Eze, Michael Olise, and Marc Guéhi already drawing attention across Europe, Palace’s decision to build around Wharton underscores their ambition.
This isn’t just a contract extension—it’s a declaration. Adam Wharton is staying put, not for the money, but for the love of the game and the belief in what Crystal Palace are building. The Premier League has been put on notice: the Eagles are no longer a stepping stone—they’re a destination.
