Among the names floating around as possible reinforcements, Eberechi Eze, a gem of English football, has come to the fore. According to the Daily Mail, Manchester City have decided to bet big on this talented 25-year-old midfielder who is currently sporting Crystal Palace colors.
Last season, Eze made a lasting impression with 10 goals and 4 assists in 40 games, making him an attractive player for any team looking for creativity and power in midfield. However, the acquisition will be neither easy nor cheap.
Crystal Palace have no intention of giving up their star without a fight and according to close sources, they are considering demanding a sum approaching £70m (more than €80m) for his transfer. This shows the high price the Eagles are asking for Eberechi Eze’s head and its importance to their plans.
The news comes after Manchester City’s plans were thwarted by the complications of signing Lucas Paquetá amid ongoing gambling-related investigations by the latter. The decision to opt for Eze could add a new dimension to Pep Guardiola’s side in midfield, bringing out fresh and diverse talent.
With the transfer window drawing to a close, it will be interesting to see if Manchester City manage to pull off this deal and secure the services of English pearl Eberechi Eze for another exciting season in English football.
