Manchester United plan to target Eberechi Eze in the transfer window next summer.
Manchester Evening News reported on the 9th (Korea Standard Time) 'Manchester United's temporary plan is to recruit defenders, midfielders and wingers in the transfer market next summer. United are interested in Eze. 'He is one of the players United are watching as they plan to reinforce the side next year...'
Currently, Manchester United's wingers are not at the level of a big club because they evaluate it coldly. Marcus Rashford, who showed his best scoring performance in the 2022-2023 season, was extremely sluggish last season. There is no sign of recovery this season either. Antony, who is second in United's all-time transfer fee at 95 million euros (about KRW 140.9 billion), has played just once as a substitute this season. Antony is considered the worst recruit in Manchester United history.
United are counting on Alejandro Garnacho, born in 2004, and Ahmad Diallo, born in 2002. However, Garnacho is still promising, and it is questionable whether Diallo's ability will work for the top teams in the English Premier League (EPL).
The Manchester Evening News also reported 'Garnacho and Diallo are still young and Rashford have not seen a performance rise in a year. Antony claimed that the level of Manchester United's wingers was serious, saying, 'He was the only one who played as a substitute against Brighton this season.
As a result, Manchester United is turning Bruno Fernandes to the side to take an anomalous approach, but there is a bad effect that even Bruno's ability is sacrificed. If Rashford or Antony cannot be revived, Manchester United will need to reinforce the winger next summer.
Eze, who was born in 1998, was the ace for Crystal Palace along with Michael Olise. Eze emerged as a target for Tottenham last summer, but the transfer did not happen. With Eze's buyout clause reported to be activated in the summer of 2025, the price tag is reported to be 68 million pounds (about 119.5 billion won).
Palace insists that the buyout clause must be invoked unconditionally in order to recruit Eze. Manchester United will have to spend a lot of money again if they try to recruit Eze after Jadon Sancho and Antony fail.
Eze, who was born in 1998 and entered his heyday, is a winger with excellent breakthrough and scoring skills. Eze, who plays both offensive midfielder and winger at the same time, is good at playing to score or utilize his teammates after cracking the defense with a momentary breakthrough. It is right that a player who can help Manchester United, which lacks a player with daredevil ability to break through. But the huge price tag is a burden.
