Manchester United may be interested in Crystal Palace winger Eberechi Eze, according to reports in Spain.
Manchester United is reportedly mulling a transfer for Eberechi Eze, a winger for Crystal Palace.
Michael Olise, the Eagles’ lucky charm who has missed the majority of the season due to injury, has been the centre of attention in recent weeks. Nine games and five goals later, he’s become a speculated target for many Premier League clubs.
But new information now indicates that Eze is the player the Red Devils are pursuing. Only in November did the 25-year-old sign a new deal, with Palace manager Roy Hodgson making hints that he had committed to the team for the long run.
The manager said, “I’m happy for Ebere as well as the club.” “In his three years with us, he has performed incredibly well, and it is wonderful to know that he has committed to the club for the long run.
The fact that his goal is to become a regular member of the England national team speaks volumes about his faith in the direction the football team is taking and the potential we have here. He certainly thinks we can get him there by signing that lengthy contract. Because of his menace to the opponent, we consider it a huge plus to have him on the pitch every week.
However, according to Spanish publication Fichajes, United would still proceed with their plan despite the new agreement. This season, wide has presented a dilemma for Erik ten Hag due to Jadon Sancho’s well-documented circumstances prior to his loan departure and £85 million Antony’s form struggles.
Eze, an England international, would give the Red Devils a track record of success in the top division and might be looking to move with Euro 2024 approaching. The research does, however, also show how far apart the two teams are in terms of valuation.
Palace wants to pay £20 million more for Eze, but United is willing to pay over £70 million for him. The winger, who has three goals and two assists in the league this season, is valued at £45 million by football analysis website transfermarkt.com.
