DaveOCKOP: Liverpool have contacted Crystal Palace midfielder Walton, intending to recruit him next summer

Hupu News on November 16 According to a report from Liverpool's famous self-media DaveOCKOP, it is reported that Liverpool is paying attention to the situation of Crystal Palace midfielder Walton.

Liverpool's operation in the 2025 summer transfer window can be called the most magnificent chapter in football history-the Red Army not only broke the English transfer fee record once, but also set the record twice in a row.

When Wirtz officially joined Anfield for a sky-high price of 116 million pounds, the deal sent a strong signal to the football world: Liverpool, which had just won the Premier League championship, was determined to create a dynasty. The subsequent shocking operation of signing Alexander Isak for 125 million pounds sent shock waves around the world.

It is worth noting that before these two blockbuster signings, Liverpool had already invested heavily in players such as Ekitic, Frimpong, Leoni and Kerkiziz. 2025 marks a major turning point in the club's transfer strategy - the previous prudent recruitment strategy has been completely subverted, and a new era for Liverpool that can compete with any giants in the transfer market has arrived.

The 2026 blueprint seems to indicate a more ambitious layout. Just yesterday, DaveOCKOP exclusively revealed that the Reds are in exploratory negotiations to sign Bournemouth forward Semayo. The Ghana international has impressed in the Premier League over the past two seasons and is said to have attracted interest from a number of clubs for the 25-year-old.

But Semeyo is not the Red Army’s only target in 2026. DaveOCKOP has also exclusively learned that Liverpool have initiated preliminary contact with Crystal Palace’s England starlet Walton. Similar to Semayo, Walton has achieved an astonishing transformation over the past two seasons and played a key role in the historic moment when Crystal Palace won the FA Cup and Community Shield for the first time.

According to the information we have, this deal is more likely to be concluded in the summer window of 2026 than in the winter. Back in September, DaveOCKOP exclusively revealed that Adam Walton had made Liverpool his first choice for a transfer.
