Crystal Palace chairman Steve Parish has admitted he is preparing for the possibility of replacing players in the summer amid Manchester United's interest in Adam Wharton.
The England international has been linked with a move to Old Trafford for a while, and could be a key target in the upcoming transfer windows.
In an interview with , Parish said: "We've got one eye on players who we might have to replace in the summer. We're not going to throw it all on red and have a massive problem.
"Unless you want to be in a situation where you're constantly putting in money every year, there's a cash limit to what you can spend.
"You can't spend money you don't have. You have to have some guardrails as a club, or you'll build up big problems down the track. Everyone saw where prices went in the summer; it's a difficult landscape.
There wasn't the right thing available at the right time when the finances were in place. There's no point in doing something for the sake of it. How are you going to get someone to come and tell them they are No 1 in Ebs [Eze] position if you still have him? The one where we didn't, with Marc [Gueh], we kept him.
“You can’t always make happen what you want to. We are where we are in the pecking order; you could ask why other clubs make bids for our players two weeks before the end of the window. I don’t know why they did that.”
