Replace Rodri! Guardiola spends 100 million to buy the Premier League star

In the Premier League transfer market, Adam Walton has always been a popular figure. The 21-year-old Crystal Palace midfielder has transformed into the core of the team after Eze left the team, and has now become the target of many top European clubs. According to reports, Real Madrid and Manchester United are interested in introducing Adam Walton, and Manchester City coach Guardiola regards him as the "Successor of Rodri" and hopes to sign him next summer. For Adam Walton, Crystal Palace values ​​him at as high as 100 million euros.

Last season, Rodri missed most of the game due to a torn ligament. After a brief return to the Club World Cup, he suffered a groin injury again, which caused him to miss the first round of the Premier League. After returning from injury again, Rodri still suffered from constant injuries. Rodri was injured again in the game against Brentford and has not returned to training. When Guardiola returned to reporters' questions, he had no choice but to say that he had tried his best to protect Rodri. Even if he only played 60 minutes in each game, he still could not avoid injury problems.

Out of concerns about Rodri's future, Manchester City began to strengthen the midfielder, and Premier League star Adam Walton has now become their target. According to Spanish media reports, Guardiola hopes to sign Crystal Palace star Adam Walton before Real Madrid. At the same time, Manchester United is also interested in signing Walton. The English midfielder's outstanding performance at Crystal Palace has attracted widespread attention from wealthy teams.

This season, Adam Walton is the only player in the Premier League who has created 5 excellent opportunities, ranking first in the league. In the Crystal Palace team, Walton ranks first in the team in the number of successful ball possessions in the midfield area (15 times) and the number of dribble completions (6 times). This young midfielder with outstanding vision and both offensive and defensive abilities has now been priced at 100 million euros by Crystal Palace. Even so, they will not consider selling Adam Ward in the winter window, and the transfer is more likely to occur next summer.

Surprisingly, the 21-year-old local midfielder has only played once for the England national team so far. In his only appearance for England - against Bosnia and Herzegovina just over a year ago - the youngster became the first midfielder to attempt more than 30 passes on his international debut and all were successful, with a composed and sublime performance.

With Walton's excellent passing ability, he is expected to shine in Pep Guardiola's system. There is no doubt that Manchester City should take action in the summer of 2026 to win this English star.
