Manchester City Eyes Rodri’s Replacement, Posing a Threat to Real Madrid
Manchester City’s season has been nothing short of a disaster. The reigning Premier League champions and 2023 Champions League winners are far from the top of the domestic table and have already been eliminated from the Champions League after their Round of 16 exit at the Santiago Bernabéu.
Once again, Manchester City dropped crucial points over the weekend. Following a promising victory against Tottenham in the previous Premier League match, the Cityzens suffered a 1-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest, further distancing themselves from third place, now four points away.
Manchester City Already Planning New Signings
Despite a significant investment in January, Manchester City’s squad continues to show glaring weaknesses. As a result, the club’s board is already preparing for major reinforcements next season. This campaign could mark a turning point in the club’s recent history, prompting them to make strategic moves for the future.
One of the players on their radar is Adam Wharton, the current Crystal Palace midfielder. According to reports from English media, Manchester City’s scouts have intensified their monitoring of the young talent in recent weeks, as he has caught the eye of Pep Guardiola.
Also on Real Madrid’s Radar
Securing Adam Wharton’s signing won’t be easy for Manchester City, as Crystal Palace is reportedly demanding over €60 million for their promising midfielder. Moreover, the Premier League champions will have to fend off competition from Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester United, and even Real Madrid, making the transfer battle even more challenging.
Real Madrid fans may already be familiar with Adam Wharton’s name, as he was linked to the club last summer following Toni Kroos’ departure. However, while Madrid continues to track his progress, they are also evaluating other midfield options who could potentially arrive at the Santiago Bernabéu.
