Premier League
Manchester City has found the ideal candidate to fill Rodri's place in the future: Adam Wharton. Pep Guardiola has approved the young midfielder from Crystal Palace as the natural successor to the Spanish international. The City coaching staff has closely monitored his progress, and in the need to secure the future of the midfield, the club would be willing to invest up to 60 million euros for his signing.
Wharton, at just 21 years old, has burst onto the scene in the Premier League, becoming an essential piece in Oliver Glasner's scheme. His tactical intelligence, precision in passing, and ability to read the game have distinguished him as one of the most promising midfielders in the English championship. Furthermore, his performance has been so high that he will even play in the FA Cup final against Manchester City itself, providing him with a perfect stage to confirm his worth amidst Guardiola's potential interest.
Manchester City wants to sign Adam Wharton
City's planning aims to avoid repeating the problems experienced this season with Rodri's prolonged absence, which coincided with a significant drop in collective performance. That is why securing a reliable replacement has become a top priority for the English champions, and Wharton fits perfectly into that plan due to his young yet mature profile on the field.
Although Crystal Palace has no intention of letting go of one of its gems easily, City's sporting project and financial muscle could tip the scales. With a contract until 2029, the operation won't be straightforward, but in Manchester, they seem willing to bet big on a player who could mark an era in the sky-blue midfield.
