Manchester City reportedly admire the Crystal Palace attacking midfielder and believe the 25 year old can help further bolster the squad.

Eze made his move to Crystal Palace in the summer of 2020, having climbed the ranks in English football. The 25-year-old has progressively enhanced his game over the years, and has emerged as a steady presence for the Eagles.

This season, Eze has appeared in 22 matches and has been directly involved in nine goals. His standout performances in recent seasons have attracted the attention of several leading clubs from around Europe.

Despite being a key player for Crystal Palace and having more than three years remaining on his contract with the club, the significant interest in him means that a departure in the summer remains a possibility.

Manchester City have shown interest in the 25-year-old for some time. Last summer, City aimed to sign him and engaged in discussions with Crystal Palace. However, the talks did not result in an agreement between the two clubs.

Manchester City, having been unwilling to meet Crystal Palace’s demands last summer, saw the transfer collapse. Despite this, City’s interest in the 25-year-old persists, and the club could potentially pursue him in the next transfer window.

Crystal Palace have set a €90 million price tag for their versatile attacking midfielder, who can also play as a left winger and a central midfielder. According to reports, City are now prepared to spend this substantial amount to secure the England international.

With Manchester City now prepared to satisfy Crystal Palace’s valuation, the transfer of Eze is more likely than before. Should the negotiations proceed smoothly, Eze could be presented with a significant opportunity to elevate his career by joining the most dominant English team in recent years.
