According to the Daily Mirror, Manchester City already has a preferred target to replace Kevin De Bruyne, given Al Ittihad's persistent efforts to recruit the 33-year-old Belgian midfielder.

The target is Eberechi Eze, a 26-year-old star of Crystal Palace, who was with the English national team at Euro 2024. Eze has impressed with his performances at Crystal Palace, showcasing his creativity, dribbling skills, and goal-scoring ability, making him a valuable asset for any top club.

It's worth noting that Paquetá was courted for a long time by the Citizens, who also have an interest in Bruno Guimarães. However, the legal issues surrounding the former and the high price of the latter might lead Manchester City to opt for Eze.

Eze's potential move to Manchester City would be a significant step in his career, offering him the opportunity to compete at the highest level in both domestic and European competitions. For City, Eze's versatility and attacking prowess would add depth to their midfield, helping to fill the void left by De Bruyne.

Manchester City is known for its strategic transfer moves, and targeting Eze aligns with their approach of blending young talent with experienced players. Eze's experience at Euro 2024 with the English national team has further elevated his profile, demonstrating his ability to perform on the international stage.

As the transfer window progresses, fans and analysts will be watching closely to see if Manchester City can secure Eze's signature. His arrival could bring a new dynamic to City's already formidable squad, as they aim to maintain their dominance in the Premier League and pursue success in the Champions League.
