Manchester City is already working on the future of its midfield, aware that the era of Kevin de Bruyne is approaching its twilight. In this context, the name of Eberechi Eze has emerged strongly on the agenda of the current Premier League champion. The talented attacking midfielder from Crystal Palace, at just 26 years old, is shaping up to be one of the preferred options by the coaching staff to take on a leading role at the Etihad Stadium.
The crazy price tag that could see Eze leave London
Eze's performance this season has been outstanding. With ten goals and eleven decisive assists in 39 appearances, he has established himself as a key player for the South London team. His ability to create play between the lines, his one-on-one skills, and his growing tactical maturity have made him a coveted figure by several top clubs in England.
His versatility and creative profile are valued by the citizen environment as ideal for the style of play promoted by Pep Guardiola. Additionally, his adaptation to English football is an added guarantee in a context where City aims to replace an idol like De Bruyne without losing offensive capability. The operation would not be straightforward: Crystal Palace is not willing to negotiate for less than 80 million euros, a figure that does not scare Manchester City if the player gives the green light.
Eze, on the other hand, has not publicly commented on the matter, but he is aware of the growing interest in his services. A call from the Etihad could change his career forever and offer him the opportunity to compete for titles on a regular basis, something he has not had the chance to do with the Eagles.
