Crystal Palace have made it clear that any club wanting to sign Adam Wharton this summer will need to pay a hefty price, slapping a £100 million valuation on the young midfielder, according to a report.

Since arriving at Selhurst Park in January 2024, Wharton has been nothing short of a revelation. The 21-year-old has quickly established himself as one of the Premier League’s most promising midfielders and even earned a spot in England’s squad for Euro 2024.

Despite a setback that saw him sidelined from November to February due to groin surgery, Wharton has bounced back in style. Since his return, he has been playing with a renewed sense of urgency, making up for lost time and catching the eye of several top clubs in the process.

Manchester United and Manchester City have both been linked with the talented youngster, but they are far from the only ones keeping tabs on him.

According to TBR Football, Arsenal, Chelsea, and Liverpool are all impressed by Wharton’s rapid development. Chelsea, in particular, had been among the clubs keen to sign him when he was still at Blackburn Rovers.

Interestingly, the report makes no mention of Man United’s ongoing interest, despite their persistent links to the midfielder. That could be down to financial constraints, with Palace setting a price tag that may prove too steep for them.

The Eagles reportedly believe Wharton could command a transfer fee similar to the £105 million Arsenal paid for Declan Rice in 2023. They have made it clear to potential suitors that they will need to stump up at least £100 million (€120m) if they want to lure him away from south London.

With Wharton under contract until 2029 and in no rush to leave, Palace hold all the cards. Any club hoping to sign him will need to make an offer that is simply too good to refuse.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk's losing streak continued on Wednesday.

Hours after Republicans in Wisconsin lost a state Supreme Court race in Wisconsin where Musk spent tens of millions of dollars of his own money, shares of his flagship electric car company fell upon news that it had badly missed Wall Street estimates for the number of vehicles it had delivered in the first quarter of 2025.

As reported by Market Watch, Tesla revealed that "it delivered more than 336,000 vehicles during the first quarter, down from 387,000 deliveries a year ago."

To put this number into context, Market Watch notes that it "was well below the average analyst estimate compiled by FactSet of 404,000 vehicles" and it "was also lower than the 'whisper' number, or what Wall Street was quietly expecting, with even the most bullish analyst projecting a number in the 360,000 range."

Although Tesla blamed the disappointing deliveries on what Market Watch describes as "the changeover to refreshed Model Y production lines" that "led to several weeks of lost production," it's also a reality that the company has been the target of a concerted boycott campaign led by progressive groups to protest Musk's role as the head of President Donald Trump's Department of Government Efficiency.

Sales of Tesla in Europe have fallen off a cliff in recent months, as car buyers on that continent have revolted against Musk's support for far-right political parties such as Germany's Alternative für Deutschland.
