Crystal Palace midfielder Adam Wharton is the front runner to make a switch to Manchester City during the January transfer window, with bookies pricing him as the favorite to replace the injured Rodri. The odds of Wharton moving to City are currently 6/4, with other alternatives like Atalanta’s Ederson, Real Sociedad’s Martin Zubimendi, and Sporting Lisbon’s Morten Hjulmand considered less likely.
Reports suggest that Palace may demand at least £60m for Wharton, a significant increase from the £18m they paid for him. Despite the high price tag, City is believed to be interested in the midfielder, especially with Liverpool also monitoring him. Wharton’s potential and skill, highlighted by Arsenal midfielder Declan Rice, have caught the attention of top clubs, making him an attractive transfer target.
Given Wharton’s talent and potential, City may be willing to pay the high price to secure his services before other clubs enter the race. The midfielder’s impressive performances at Palace and within the England squad have garnered praise from fellow players and could lead to a successful move to a top club like Manchester City.
