manchester united are among several clubs interested in signing Eberechi Eze from Crystal Palace next year. The Eagles seem resigned to losing their prized asset in 2025, but will demand payment of their £68 million termination clause.
The Red Devils are unlikely to be fazed by Eze's asking price, but according to Football TransfersA bet on him remains “out of reach” for the club unless they sell one or two of their “high-profile” players.
Bruno Fernandez and Mark Rashford are among those who will need to be shown the door at Old Trafford to accommodate Eze, which is hardly surprising considering the Englishman can play as an attacking midfielder and on both flanks.
The source adds that Palace are “remaining firm” about wanting Eze's release clause paid and will not be willing to negotiate a lower fee, while, contrary to previous reports, they are not interested in Antony and , therefore, the possibilities of an exchange agreement have been ruled out. outside.
United's circumstances may not attract Eze
Neither Bruno Fernandes nor Marcus Rashford have been up to par so far this season, as have the rest of their teammates. However, what is practically written is that the Portuguese international will not be sold in the near future.
The story with Rashford could be different, however, as the 26-year-old has struggled to recover for several months. He has had a good run of form for a few matches but remained ineffective for much of the season.
To be fair, if not for the lack of competition in his role, Rashford would have had a secondary status in the team. At the same time, it remains to be seen whether Manchester United are willing to sell him and also whether there is a market for his services.
If Manchester United can hypothetically offload Rashford, the door at Old Trafford could open for Eze to step in, but even with the sale of their academy graduate, it's hard to imagine the Red Devils being the Palace star's preferred destination. .
Eze is likely to prefer joining a club competing for the title. first division and playing in champions leaguepossibly delivering people like Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool a significant boost over Manchester United.
