Pep now personally wants Man City to snap up Real Madrid for £87m

Manchester City management Pep Guardiola Now personally wants to kidnap Real Madrid and sign a “phenomenal” midfielder, who is estimated at 87 million pounds.

Pep intends to sign a new contract amid Rhodri’s concerns

After spending most of the 2024-25 season on the sidelines with an ACL injury, Rodri was brought back into the team by Pep, but the Spaniard suffered another setback in a 1-0 win at Brentford before the international break.

The central midfielder was disqualified from playing for Spain’s World Cup qualifiers, with agility continues to express hope that it is a matter of weeks, not months, until the 29-year-old returns.

The boss of the municipality also added: “You asked me why I don’t play him for 90 minutes all the time. The journalists always ask me why I replace him. That’s why we tried to be gentle and play (him) for 60-65 minutes.”

Against the backdrop of concerns about Rhodri, the Blues set out to strengthen his options in the engine room, Submission of proposals For two English connections coming up at the beginning of the week, and The Premier League A star has also now appeared as a target.

This is according to a report from Spain, which states Pep now wants to personally poach Real Madrid and sign Crystal Palace star Adam WhartonWith Man City expressing serious interest in securing his signature.

Manchester United also set out to sign WhartonOn the back of the midfielder’s impressive performances at the Eagles, and sources suggest the south Londoners could hold out for a fee of around €100m (£87m).

However, with the Englishman under contract until 2029, and confirmed at Selhurst Park, Palace currently have no pressing need to cash in, with a move more likely to happen next summer than in January.

“Phenomenal” Wharton won a move to the top club

In many ways, it’s a real surprise that the 21-year-old has just one England cap to his name given the impact the central midfielder has made since arriving at Palace, with HLTCO’s Dan Cook left particularly impressed.

In his only England appearance, which came against Bosnia and Herzegovina just over a year ago, the youngster became the only midfielder to attempt 30+ passes on his Three Lions debut and completed every one, in what was a guaranteed performance.

Given Wharton’s passing ability, he could flourish in Pep’s system, and Man City should undoubtedly make a move in 2026.
