But Wharton is happy to stay at Selhurst Park this season — and that makes the Kop favourites to land him.
Liverpool have been lining up the classy passer for months but they would also prefer to wait after big changes to their squad this summer.
Wharton forced his way into England's Euro 2024 squad after joining Palace but was frustrated by injuries last season, missing three months after a groin operation in November.
Palace do not want to lose Wharton now as they face Marc Guehi and Eberechi Eze being sold before the window shuts on September 1.

Palace, facing huge interest in their players this summer, are sure to demand a huge fee for Wharton who still has more than four years left on his contract.
Blackburn are also due a 15 per cent cut of profit over the £18m Palace paid up front for their former academy star 15 months ago.
Bayern Munich and Real Madrid are also admirers but Wharton has not played often enough this season to make their interest concrete.
Bayern Munich are set to go head-to-head with Arsenal in the race to sign Eberechi Eze.
Mikel Arteta sees him as the 'final piece in the jigsaw' in a new-look line-up that the Spaniard hopes will see the Gunners finally win the Premier League.
But Sun Sport recently revealed that Arsenal face a major battle to land Eze in the shape of the German champions.

Bayern's manager Vincent Kompany wants to reunite Eze with former teammate Michael Olise, as he plots an all-out assault on the Champions League.
Bayern have just lost Jamal Musiala to a broken leg and dislocated ankle and they have shortlisted Eze as they seek to strengthen their attack.
