The transfer market is buzzing with excitement as Barcelona, Liverpool, and Real Madrid are reportedly in a fierce competition to secure the signature of Crystal Palace midfielder Adam Wharton. The 21-year-old English international has been in scintillating form this season, making 26 appearances across all competitions and catching the eye of Europe's elite clubs.

The Wharton Watch

According to Daily Mail, Real Madrid have already dispatched scouts to monitor Wharton's performances this season. Liverpool are also keeping a close watch on the young talent, while Barcelona are looking to bolster their midfield with his addition. Crystal Palace are said to be open to negotiations, but only if they receive an offer in the region of £60 million.

Manchester United's Summer Plans

Meanwhile, Manchester United are reportedly working on securing deals for Bournemouth winger Antoine Semenyo and Ipswich Town forward Liam Delap. The Independent reports that these moves are contingent on United's qualification for the Champions League, which they hope to achieve by winning the Europa League this month. Delap, 22, could be acquired for £30 million through a relegation release clause, potentially replacing Rasmus Hojlund, who is attracting interest from Juventus.

Rashford's Future in Question

The Telegraph suggests that an offer of £40 million could be enough to secure Marcus Rashford, who has been on loan at Aston Villa this season. While Rashford is open to making his stay permanent, Villa reportedly do not have the first refusal, leaving the door open for other clubs to swoop in.

Liverpool's New Target

In other news, Liverpool have entered the race for Chelsea forward Christopher Nkunku, according to Foot Mercato. The 27-year-old's versatility makes him an attractive option for manager Arne Slot, with Bayern Munich and Newcastle United also in the mix.

Bayern's Contract Talks

Finally, Bayern Munich are in talks with center-back Dayot Upamecano over a new contract, as reported by Sky Sports Deutschland. The Bundesliga champions are keen to retain the 26-year-old, who has been a key player under manager Vincent Kompany this season.
