During the last few days of the transfer window, Manchester City is hoping to sign a £70 million Premier League.
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano exclusively revealed to GIVEMESPORT that Manchester City are interested in signing Eberechi Eze, a player with “fantastic talent,” but that they are encountering a significant roadblock in their efforts to entice the Crystal Palace star to the Etihad Stadium.
Having already won the Super Cup to add to their treble from the previous season, Citizens manager Pep Guardiola is looking to upgrade his squad before the summer transfer window closes next week.
Eberechi Eze is a recent addition to Man City.
The Evening Standard reports that Palace are unwilling to permit Eze’s departure for less than £70 million after he managed to get on Manchester City’s radar.
According to the report, the defending Premier League champions are considering making a bid for the attacking midfielder, who has started every game so far this year. They reportedly gave up trying to sign West Ham United talisman Lucas Paqueta.
Guardiola is believed to want to sign Eze or Matheus Nunes from Wolverhampton Wanderers after deciding to improve his midfield options before the deadline on September 1. However, bids are anticipated to encounter resistance.
After observing Eze, a one-cap England international, numerous times over the previous six months, Manchester City scouts were impressed.
When Gareth Southgate gave the former Queens Park Rangers player his Three Lions debut earlier this year, the Sky Sports reporter Michael Bridge recently told GIVEMESPORT that the player’s value increased significantly.
Eze’s £30,000 per week contract is set to expire in the summer of 2025, but Manchester City is hoping to pounce on the opportunity.

What has Eze been said about by Fabrizio Romano?
In the final days of the transfer window, Romano predicts that Manchester City will have a difficult time persuading Palace to sell Eze.
According to the Italian journalist, the Eagles have already proven their mettle by keeping hold of Michael Olise and Cheick Doucoure in the face of interest from Premier League rivals, and they will do the same with the 25-year-old.
Eze is a fantastic talent, according to Romano, who spoke with GIVEMESPORT. However, Manchester City is aware that Palace is being very tough in talks, just as they were with Olise during talks with Chelsea.
“Liverpool asked for information about Doucoure, but Palace wants to keep their stars, so it has to be something very significant in terms of proposals. If not, signing their stars in the window’s final days will be challenging. “.
What lies ahead for Man City?
According to Spanish sources, agent Jorge Mendes is on his way to Barcelona to finalize Joao Cancelo’s transfer to the La Liga powerhouses, so it appears that he has played his last game in a Manchester City jersey.
According to the report, negotiations have advanced for the Portuguese international, who has made 154 appearances for the Citizens and contributed to 31 goals, and a contract is anticipated to be finalized in the next few days.
Considering that Cancelo is not in Guardiola’s future plans, transfer insider Dean Jones recently told GIVEMESPORT that selling the player would be a huge win for him.
Manchester City would also be able to remove the right-back’s £250,000 weekly salary if he joined Barcelona.
Bayern Munich accepted a £61 million option to make Cancelo’s loan to them permanent after the first half of last season, but the defending Bundesliga champions decided against exercising it.
