In the last days of the transfer window, Manchester City hopes to sign a £70 million Premier League star.
Transfer analyst Fabrizio Romano exclusively revealed to GIVEMESPORT that Manchester City want to capture ‘great talent’ Eberechi Eze but are encountering a significant roadblock in their efforts to entice the Crystal Palace player to the Etihad Stadium.
Pep Guardiola, the manager of the City of Manchester, is trying to upgrade his squad before the summer transfer window closes next week after they added the Super Cup to their already impressive treble from the previous year.
Eberechi Eze was transferred to Man City.
Palace are reportedly unwilling to permit Eze’s departure for less than £70 million after he managed to get on Manchester City’s radar, according to the Evening Standard
According to the source, the defending Premier League champions are thinking about making a move for the offensive midfielder, who has started every game so far this year without missing a beat, after failing in their efforts to sign West Ham United talisman Lucas Paqueta.
Guardiola is believed to be interested in signing Eze or Matheus Nunes from Wolverhampton Wanderers after deciding to improve his midfield options before the deadline on September 1. However, bids are anticipated to encounter resistance.
Following multiple viewings of the one-cap England international in action over the previous six months, Manchester City scouts were impressed with Eze.
After being given his Three Lions debut by Gareth Southgate earlier this year, the former Queens Park Rangers player’s worth climbed dramatically, Sky Sports reporter Michael Bridge recently told GIVEMESPORT.
Eze’s £30,000 per week contract is set to expire in the summer of 2025, but Manchester City is hoping to capitalize on the opportunity.
