Officials at Manchester City are disappointed by a midfielder showing reluctance to switch to their club in the future. The team is currently looking for a suitable option to back up Rodrigo in the defensive midfield position, prioritizing talents for the long-term future over experienced names.

The search for a new midfield addition is due to Kalvin Phillips’ struggles to adapt to Pep Guardiola’s playing style. While City is eyeing players like Bruno Guimaraes and Joshua Kimmich, they also have their sights set on young English talent Adam Wharton as a potential future signing. Wharton, who currently plays for Crystal Palace, is content to stay with the club amid interest from top European teams.

Wharton, a Blackburn Rovers fan, has shown promise with Crystal Palace, making his Championship debut and earning Player of the Match accolades. With a multi-million pound contract with the club until 2025, Wharton’s decision to stay and continue improving with Palace comes despite interest from clubs like Bayern Munich, Manchester City, and Real Madrid.
