Manchester United is ramping up their efforts for the summer transfer window, and one player on their radar is Crystal Palace’s Eberechi Eze.
Eze, one of the Premier League’s standout attacking midfielders, has reportedly caught the attention of United’s head coach Ruben Amorim.
According to The Manchester Evening News, United are preparing a £50million bid for the England international, who could be a game-changer at Old Trafford.
However, Crystal Palace are holding out for closer to £60million, and negotiations are expected to be challenging.
United’s need for a creative spark is clear. Their struggles in attack have been evident, with many questioning recent decisions, including the departure of Anthony Elanga.
Elanga’s move to Nottingham Forest in 2023 has worked out well for him, as he’s now playing a key role in their Premier League campaign.
With their attack lacking consistency, United could certainly benefit from someone like Eze, who would thrive behind a central striker in Amorim’s setup.
In other news, United’s first offer for Barcelona’s Alejandro Balde, worth £42million, has reportedly been rejected.
Barcelona values Balde higher, and the club’s resistance to let him go means that United will likely have to raise their offer significantly.
MEN Sport shared that a new left-back isn’t a priority for United, with Luke Shaw and Patrick Dorgu already providing depth in that area.
Instead, United should focus on bolstering their attack, midfield, and wing options in the summer.
The upcoming transfer window will be critical for United, as they look to strengthen key areas and return to form.
