Guardiola ready to poach another Premier League rival

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola and the club are setting their sights on Crystal Palace’s Eberechi Eze as a potential £68 million replacement for Kevin De Bruyne, should the midfield maestro decide to accept a lucrative offer from Saudi Arabia, according to the UK Mirror.

With clubs in the Middle East, notably Al-Ittihad, reportedly ready to present the 33-year-old De Bruyne with a massive deal, City’s Pep Guardiola is keen to find a suitable successor to fill the Belgian’s shoes at the Etihad Stadium.

Guardiola, known for his keen eye for talent, is a known admirer of Eze. The 25-year-old England international, who showcased his skills at Euro 2024, has also caught the attention of Premier League rivals Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal, adding a competitive edge to City’s pursuit.

The upcoming season is going to be an exciting one for every team competing for premier league positions and it will be interesting to see how Manchester City copes with the exit of Kevin De Bruyne and Ederson should the exit go through.

Even more, it will be a thing of interest to see how Manchester City’s rivals fare with the Etihad side going through a bit of rebuild to go again next season.

At the moment, this could be the Spaniard’s last season in the premier league, with various calls placing him as a candidate for the England national team job.
