Manchester City Inquires About Wharton, Crystal Palace Rejects Sale

Journalist David Ornstein has reported that Manchester City have asked Crystal Palace about the possibility of signing midfielder Adam Wharton during the current summer transfer window.

David Ornstein reported that Crystal Palace's management has informed Manchester City that Warton, 22, is not available for sale this summer, as the club is keen on keeping him in the squad.

Wharton, who represents the England national team, is among the names on the shortlist to strengthen Manchester City's midfield, as the club's management is keeping an eye on the player's situation in preparation for a potential official move.

David Ornstein has confirmed that Crystal Palace has no intention of selling Warton before the transfer window closes, making Manchester City's task of finalizing the deal during the remaining days of the market extremely difficult.

The young player has been linked with several clubs, notably Manchester United and Real Madrid, but it seems that Crystal Palace is not considering selling him this summer.
