According to Ogasabi from 9am news Nigeria, the 33-year-old Belgian playmaker, Kevin De Bruyne, is reportedly linked to a potential move to Saudi Arabia, with teams in the Middle East, particularly Al-Ittihad, showing interest and Eze is his possible replacement if he leaves .
The reigning Premier League champions are ready to offer De Bruyne a lucrative contract. If De Bruyne leaves, Pep Guardiola would need to find suitable replacements at the Etihad Stadium and are looking at Eberechi Eze.
The Mirror reports that Manchester City is eyeing Eberechi Eze, a midfielder for Crystal Palace. Tottenham has also expressed interest in Eze throughout the summer transfer window.
With three years left on his Selhurst Park contract, Eze is rumored to have a release clause of £60 million plus add-ons. Manchester City is willing to invest heavily in the 26-year-old as a long-term addition to their star-studded squad.
However, Crystal Palace will be reluctant to let go of Michael Olise, who was previously acquired by Bayern Munich. Eze, who ended the previous season with four assists and 11 goals, is a key player in Oliver Glasner’s plans and is currently recovering from an impressive Euro 2024 campaign with England, where they reached the final.
