Manchester City could yet make a move for a member of England’s Euro 2024 squad this summer.
City haven’t been active yet in the transfer window, with two major tournaments currently taking place.
But there has been plenty of speculation about players coming in and others going out.
Bruno Guimaraes is perhaps the player who has been the most heavily linked with City. But it remains to be seen if City can get a deal done for the Brazilian now that the ace’s £100 million release clause is no longer active.
July is likely to be a bit busier for City, and one man they could be moving for is Eberechi Eze of Crystal Palace.
Manchester City could move for Eberechi Eze, one year after previous links
It has been reported today by The Guardian that City could potentially make a move for Eberechi Eze.
The Palace number 10 enjoyed another really good season at Selhurst Park, and was one of a number of players to take his game up a level when Oliver Glasner succeeded Roy Hodgson.
The Guardian say that Eze could be someone City make a move for this summer.
However, he would not come cheap. Apparently, he would cost at least £60 million to sign.
Palace are said to be ‘bracing themselves’ for clubs to come calling for Eze, with Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur both also keen.
Last summer, it was claimed that City really wanted to sign Eze, and had watched him for six months prior to that report becoming public.
Eze would be an exciting addition
It would be very exciting to see Eze make a move to the Etihad Stadium this summer, as he is easily one of the most talented players outside the traditional Big Six Premier League clubs.
Eze is a wonderful technician, and someone you get the feeling would absolutely thrive playing in a Pep Guardiola team.
At the moment though, there doesn’t appear to be a massive need for him.
If one of Matheus Nunes or Bernardo Silva were to leave the club, then a move for the ‘unique’ star would make more sense.
Interestingly, it was suggested last summer that Nunes was actually a player City decided to sign instead of Eze. And the Portugal international had a bit of an underwhelming debut season after joining from Wolves.
