Pep Guardiola is focused on finding a quick solution after the significant injury to Rodri, his pillar in the midfield. The manager of Manchester City has set his sights on Adam Wharton, a young talent from Crystal Palace, as a possible replacement to fill the void left by the Spanish midfielder. The seriousness of Rodri's injury has forced City to urgently search the market, and Wharton, at just 20 years old, has emerged as an ideal candidate.

Wharton has been one of the revelations in the Premier League since joining Crystal Palace from Blackburn Rovers. His quick adaptation and immediate impact on his new team have put him on the radar of several English giants, including Manchester City. Throughout this season, the midfielder has shown great maturity in his game, establishing himself as a key piece for the team led by Oliver Glasner. His price is around 60 million euros.

Guardiola wants Adam Wharton

Manchester City's interest in Wharton is not new. In fact, the club had considered signing him during the last transfer window, but ultimately chose not to proceed with the operation at that time. However, the situation has changed dramatically with Rodri's injury, which could keep him off the field for a long period. Faced with this scenario, Guardiola and his team see Wharton as a viable option to strengthen the midfield in January.

The challenge for Manchester City will be to convince Crystal Palace to part with one of their gems. With a recent contract and in full growth, the London club will not make it easy to let Wharton go, who has been vital in their setup. However, the opportunity to play under Guardiola's orders and in a team of the caliber of City could prove irresistible for the young player, tipping the scales in favor of the current Premier League champions.
