Manchester City head coach Pep Guardiola is looking to strengthen the team’s midfield. According to Fichajes, the Spanish manager has set his sights on Crystal Palace midfielder Adam Wharton.
Reports suggest Guardiola highly values the 21-year-old Englishman’s style of play and sees him as a potential long-term replacement for Rodri. The coach believes Wharton is technically gifted, has great game awareness, and can operate effectively at a top level in central midfield.
City officials also view Wharton as a player who fits into the club’s long-term vision. According to Guardiola’s plan, he could become the ideal successor to Rodri.
However, there is competition for the young midfielder — Manchester United have also shown interest. The rivalry between the two Manchester giants is expected to spark major interest in the English transfer market.
So far this season, Adam Wharton has made 10 appearances for Crystal Palace in all competitions and provided one assist. His tireless work rate and passing ability have drawn praise from coaches.
Experts note that Guardiola aims to build a strong foundation for the future by integrating young talents, and Wharton could be the next promising signing in that strategy.
If talks progress positively, Manchester City could soon add another talented midfielder to their Premier League roster.
