Manchester City have begun preparing for a scenario that until recently seemed impossible: the possible departure of Rodri during the summer transfer window.
The Spanish midfielder, one of the team’s most important players in recent years, is among Real Madrid’s main targets, which has forced the English club to start looking for possible alternatives in the market.
Manchester City’s managers do not want to improvise and have begun analyzing profiles that can meet the great challenge of replacing the Ballon d’Or winner.
One of the names that has gained a lot of ground in recent weeks is Adam Wharton. The young Crystal Palace midfielder has developed into one of the most promising talents in the Premier League.
Only 22 years old, Wharton has shown great maturity in the game, standing out for his ability to organize plays from the back and control the pace of matches.
His vision of the game, passing accuracy and tactical intelligence have attracted the interest of several major European clubs.
Manchester City believe his profile fits perfectly with the style of play that has characterised the team in recent years.
Currently, the English club is closely monitoring Rodri’s situation.
If Real Madrid decide to make a concrete move and the player chooses to seek a new challenge, then Manchester City is expected to activate its plan to strengthen the midfield.
