City in pole position to sign 80m Palace star
Briefly

Manchester City is reportedly interested in signing Crystal Palace midfielder Adam Wharton during the upcoming summer transfer window. The young England international has impressed at Selhurst Park and is also being tracked by Manchester United. Former Premier League scout Mick Brown has indicated City’s admiration for Wharton, suggesting he could be a long-term replacement for Rodri, who has struggled with injuries. However, Crystal Palace is reluctant to part with him and expects a transfer fee of at least £80 million, which might deter potential buyers.
Brown pointed out that Palace are looking for at least £80 million for Wharton, stating, 'They want to keep him and they hope that price tag will put people off.'
Brown expressed uncertainty about Wharton's readiness for a significant role at City right now, saying, 'I’m not convinced, but that's not my decision to make.'
Manchester City have a growing interest in Adam Wharton as a potential long-term replacement for Rodri, according to former scout Mick Brown.
With City potentially losing De Bruyne and uncertainty surrounding Gundogan and Rodri's futures, they are assessing Wharton's fit for the team.
