Premier League
Manchester City is determined to strengthen their squad in the winter transfer market and has set their sights on Adam Wharton, a young midfielder from Crystal Palace. At 20 years old, the Englishman has caught the eye of Pep Guardiola, who sees the player as an ideal alternative to cover the prolonged absence of Rodri, who has been injured since the start of the season, leading the club to five consecutive defeats.
Wharton joined Crystal Palace in early 2024. Since then, he has become a key player for the team and has been recognized for his debut with the English national team, positioning him as one of the most promising emerging talents in the Premier League. His ability to quickly adapt to the highest level of football has sparked interest from several clubs, but the English champions seem most interested in securing his signing.
Wharton, the chosen one to replace Rodri
Wharton's contract with the Eagles runs until 2029, giving Crystal Palace a significant advantage in any negotiation. However, City, with their financial capacity and the urgency to strengthen the midfield, may present an offer hard to refuse. Rodri's absence has notably affected the team's performance, leading to recent struggles, increasing the pressure to finalize the deal in January.
While Crystal Palace is not willing to part ways with their star midway through the season, Manchester City is confident in their ability to reach an agreement. If successful, Wharton would have the opportunity to develop his potential under Guardiola's guidance, establishing himself as a key figure in the Citizens' project.
