MANCHESTER City are considering a transfer move for Crystal Palace star Eberechi Eze, according to reports.
City could lose Kevin De Bruyne, 33, this summer and have identified Eze, 26, as a potential replacement.
De Bruyne has admitted that he could be tempted by a move to the Saudi Pro League, saying he would be able to earn “an incredible amount of money”. De Bruyne is on £400,000 a week at City.
Eze made three substitute appearances for England as Gareth Southgate’s side reached the final of Euro 2024 where they lost to Spain.
The Eagles have already lost one star attacker in this transfer window, after Michael Olise left for Bayern Munich in a £60million deal.
Former Millwall and Queens Park Rangers attacker Eze is coveted by a host of clubs. Tottenham Hotspur were linked with a move for him last summer and again in this window.
Eze has three years left on his contract and it has been reported it contains a release fee clause of at least £60million, more with potential add-ons. He had an impressive 2023-24 campaign which included eleven goals in 29 Premier League games.
Meanwhile, Palace have reportedly agreed personal terms with Marseilles and Senegal winger Ismaila Sarr. The Eagles have offered Sarr a four-year contract and are now trying to agree a fee with the French club.
Marseilles signed Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg from Spurs this week on an initial loan and he has been given Sarr’s No. 23 shirt next season.
Sarr scored 34 goals in 131 games in four seasons with Watford.
The Eagles have also been linked with a £25million move for Arsenal winger Emile Smith Rowe.
