Palace Chairman Warns Off City: Eze Not For Sale On The Cheap
Crystal Palace chairman Steve Parish has delivered a stern message to Manchester City and other potential suitors interested in signing star midfielder Eberechi Eze. The Eagles have already fended off interest from Newcastle United for defender Marc Guehi, and Parish is adamant that the club will not be forced into selling their prized assets.
“Nobody has got to the valuation yet. If you want a superstar player you need to pay superstar money,” Parish declared, setting a clear price tag for any club hoping to secure the services of Eze or Guehi.
Manchester City have been linked with a move for Eze, who has been earmarked as a potential long-term replacement for Kevin De Bruyne. However, Pep Guardiola is currently satisfied with his midfield options and has signed Savinho from Troyes to bolster his squad depth.
Despite City’s interest, Palace remain steadfast in their valuation of Eze, who has three years remaining on his contract. The 26-year-old has established himself as a key player for the Eagles and the club is determined to keep hold of him for the foreseeable future.
With the transfer window still open, the battle for Eze’s signature could intensify in the coming weeks. However, Palace’s firm stance on the matter suggests that any potential deal will require a significant financial outlay.
As the transfer saga unfolds, fans of both clubs will be eagerly watching developments, with the outcome likely to have a significant impact on the upcoming Premier League season.
Will Manchester City return with an improved offer for Eze, or will Palace manage to fend off their advances? Only time will tell.
Stay tuned for updates as the transfer window reaches its climax.
