Manchester City and Manchester United have placed the signing of Adam Wharton, midfielder from Crystal Palace, on their radar in this summer transfer market.

As revealed by journalist Ben Jacobs, the Selhurst Park board has set the midfielder's valuation at 100 million euros (86 million pounds), a figure that has so far thwarted formal proposals from both Premier League clubs.

Manchester City's Strategy for Rodri's Departure to FC Barcelona

Manchester City, under Enzo Maresca's direction, is considering Wharton's arrival to replace Rodri's imminent move to FC Barcelona. The club's sports management made a formal inquiry before the market opened and is considering adding more than one pivot to share rotation with Elliot Anderson and Ayyoub Bouaddi, the latter in advanced negotiations with Lille.

Despite interest in the left-footed midfielder, journalist Ben Jacobs confirmed that, as of today, Crystal Palace has not received a formal offer in their offices. The board will maintain the demand of 100 million euros to authorize any transfer in the remaining weeks of the summer window.

Manchester United's Intentions and Crystal Palace's Stand

Manchester United, coached by Michael Carrick, is seeking Crystal Palace's playmaker to strengthen the double pivot alongside Kobbie Mainoo, Youri Tielemans, and Andrey Santos, the latter two recently acquired in this transfer window. Old Trafford's scouts believe that the midfielder fits as a game distributor, but the Red Devils' leadership is only willing to pay 70 million pounds (81 million euros).

The discrepancy between the demanded 86 million pounds by Crystal Palace and United's stance has stalled direct negotiations. Chelsea and Real Madrid are also in the race for the player, although neither has submitted a written proposal to the London club's board.

Crystal Palace will maintain its firm stand regarding Adam Wharton's price during the second week of August. If Manchester City or Manchester United decide to present an offer for 70 million pounds before August 20, the Crystal Palace board will consider reducing its initial demands to authorize the transfer.
