WHAT HAPPENED?
The legendary Belgian playmaker for the current Premier League champions is being linked to a move to Saudi Arabia. Middle Eastern teams, including Al-Ittihad, are willing to give the 33-year-old De Bruyne a big contract.
THE BIGGER PICTURE
Pep Guardiola would require appropriate coverage at the Etihad Stadium if he were to depart. The Mirror claims that City is after Eze, a midfielder for Crystal Palace. Tottenham has also shown interest in him throughout the summer transfer season.
DID YOU KNOW?
With three years remaining on his Selhurst Park contract, Eze is rumored to have a release clause of £60 million plus add-ons. Being a long-term addition to a team full of stars, City would be willing to spend a lot of money on the 26-year-old.
WHAT NEXT?
However, Palace will be hesitant to part with Michael Olise because Bayern Munich previously acquired him. Eze, who led England to the final of the Euro 2024 tournament and scored 11 goals and contributed four assists the previous season, is a vital component of Oliver Glasner’s plans and is presently recuperating from that experience.
