Transfer: Guardiola Eyes EPL Rival Midfielder to Replace De Bruyne

Manchester City are eyeing Crystal Palace’s Eberechi Eze as a potential replacement for Kevin De Bruyne, according to the UK Mirror.

De Bruyne is reportedly being courted by teams in Saudi Arabia, including Al-Ittihad, who are prepared to offer the 33-year-old a lucrative deal.

Should De Bruyne decide to depart the Premier League champions, Pep Guardiola will need to find an adequate replacement for the Etihad Stadium.

Guardiola is a known admirer of Eze, who would cost around £68 million this summer.

Eze, who represented England at Euro 2024, is also drawing interest from Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal.
