Manchester City now know how much they’ll have to pay to land one of their reported transfer targets this summer.
The Citizens have a track record when it comes to spending large amounts of money to bring new players to the Etihad Stadium.
In fact, the Manchester club have shelled out big transfer fees to sign players from fellow Premier League sides such as Matheus Nunes from Wolves and Jack Grealish from Aston Villa.
Now that another summer transfer window is upon us, a key piece of information has come to light regarding another current top-flight star who has been on City’s radar recently.
Man City discover release clause of transfer target
- Man City transfer rumours: Every player linked to and from the Etihad in summer transfer window
According to a recent report from the Daily Mail, Crystal Palace midfielder Eberechi Eze, who has been linked with a move to City previously has a clause in his current deal worth £60m plus additional add-ons worth in the region of £8m.
In his latest season at the South London club, the 25-year-old, whose footballing journey has been described as “unique” by Rio Ferdinand, scored 11 goals and delivered four assists in 27 Premier League appearances.
Eze wowed in the Premier League this season
The Englishman ended the campaign with more shots at goal (82), key passes (54), shot-creating actions (110), successful take-ons (69) and carries into the penalty area (43) than any other player at Palace.
His performances earned the midfielder an overall season rating of 7.45/10 from WhoScored, making him the sixth-highest-rated player in the entire division.
This also led to Eze being included in Gareth Southgate’s final England squad for the upcoming European Championship in Germany.
Taking all of that into account, we feel that City should definitely consider triggering Eze’s release clause this summer if Pep Guardiola and his coaching staff still feel that he would be a suitable addition to the squad.
