Manchester City is reportedly considering a £68 million move for Crystal Palace playmaker Eberechi Eze amid uncertainty surrounding Kevin De Bruyne's future, who has drawn interest from Saudi club Al-Ittihad. With De Bruyne's contract expiring and lucrative offers on the table, City is preparing for his potential departure and sees Eze as a viable replacement. Eze, who has three years remaining on his contract with Palace and a release clause around £60 million, has also attracted attention from Tottenham, though they may struggle to compete with City financially. Palace is keen to retain Eze following the recent sale of Michael Olise to Bayern Munich and will likely demand the release clause be met. Eze's versatility and impressive performance last season, which included 11 goals and four assists, have solidified his reputation as one of the top talents outside the Premier League's elite. Pep Guardiola values Eze's style of play, aligning with the demands of his attacking midfield system.
