Manchester City assess situation before approaching Eze.

Browse By

Manchester City are considering a move for Eberechi Eze. The 26-year-old Crystal Palace winger is attracting interest from Premier League giants after impressing on a personal level last season, making 31 appearances in all competitions, scoring 11 goals and providing six assists, as well as being name in England’s squad for Euro 2024. 

The UFABET recently reported that Manchester City are considering Eze as a potential new player, with the Citizens assessing the conditions before making a final decision.

The big problem now is probably the player’s £68m transfer fee, with British media suggesting Palace are open to negotiations if they can get that amount.

It is a high figure but with the player’s contract with the Eagles running until mid-2027, Palace are able to control negotiations, even if Eze requests a transfer request in the future.

It is expect that City will hold internal discussions before deciding which winger to approach this summer, but if it is Eze as report, the Citizens could face competition from other teams such as Arsenal or Tottenham Hotspur.

Palace have an interest in ­signing Arsenal’s Emile Smith Rowe but face competition from Fulham for the forward. Palace have had an offer for their longstanding target Ismaïla Sarr rejected by Marseille, where the Sene­gal forward has failed to settle after leaving Watford last year. Southamp­ton are report to have made a £12m bid for ­Jesurun Rak-Sakyi, although ­Palace are believe to prefer to loan out the 21-year-old forward.
