Pep Found 2 “Right Players” – Manchester City are paying £100 million
After Julian Alvarez’s departure to Atletico Madrid and Rodri’s signals that he can’t play the whole season without rest, Manchester City are targeting two “right players,” as verified by head coach Pep Guardiola.
Adam Wharton
20-year-old Adam Wharton has been one of the city’s top targets since the opening of the Summer Transfer Window.
The six-foot central midfielder plays for Crystal Palace and appeared in 16 matches during the last Premier League season. Wharton’s quality performances drew the attention of former England national team coach Gareth Southgate, and Adam secured a spot in the 26-man squad for Euro 2024.
The main reason Pep Guardiola likes him is his footballing intelligence and ability to read the game. Additionally, his ball-receiving skills stand out. What’s even more important, Guardiola sees him as a future leader of City’s midfield.
Although aerial duels are not his strongest attribute, this is not a point that would turn away potential suitors.
Along with Manchester City, Bayern Munich have also shown interest in signing the young Englishman.
Crystal Palace paid Blackburn £22.5 million for him, and today his transfer market value exceeds £35 million.
Bruno Guimarães
Every day Manchester City related sources write about the strong interest of City in Bruno.
Yesterday, false news circulated that the Brazilian winger followed Man City on Instagram, but that was counterfeit.
According to today’s buzzes, even Arsenal is monitoring his situation and ready to step up.
The Athletic still report, Bruno Guimarães is keen to join City over any other top team.
While Khaldoon have billion in the bank, plus Julian Alvarez’s transfer fee, there is no concern about money. £90-100 million is already fully acceptable. Newcastle are simply trying it’s best to retain the footballer for one more season.
Guardiola would not be against including Kalvin Phillips in the transfer deal.
Guimarães joined from Lyon 2 years ago and soon became one of the key players for the club.
Do not rule out, City might take all risks and sign both of them.
