JUST IN: Pep Guardiola want Crystal Palace ACE as Man City point the EAGLE star boy as perfect Kevin De Bryune successor…. Will palace receive another heartbreak as Olise move to Bayern?
SITUATION UPDATE
Manchester City, the current Premier League title holders, are facing rumors about their star Belgian midfielder potentially moving to Saudi Arabia. Middle Eastern clubs, including Al-Ittihad, are reportedly offering generous contracts to the 33-year-old Kevin De Bruyne.
POTENTIAL CONSEQUENCES
Should De Bruyne depart, Pep Guardiola will need to find a suitable replacement. The Mirror reports that City are eyeing Crystal Palace’s Eberechi Eze as a potential target. Tottenham has also shown interest in Eze during this transfer window.
KEY INFORMATION
Eze’s current contract with Crystal Palace has three years remaining. It reportedly includes a release clause of £60 million plus additional bonuses. Manchester City appears willing to make a significant investment in the 26-year-old midfielder, viewing him as a long-term asset for their team.
NEXT STEPS
However, Crystal Palace may be reluctant to let Eze go, especially after losing Michael Olise to Bayern Munich. Eze, who scored 11 goals and provided 4 assists last season, is crucial to manager Oliver Glasner’s plans. He’s currently recovering from his participation in Euro 2024, where he helped England reach the final.
