Crystal Palace star **Eberechi Eze** has made headlines with a bold statement regarding his potential move to **Manchester United**. Amid growing speculation about his future, the England international revealed that he would only consider joining the Red Devils under *one specific condition*, though he hasn’t publicly disclosed what that condition is. This comes at a time when **Bruno Fernandes** is strongly linked with a summer switch to **Real Madrid**, leaving a creative void at Old Trafford that Eze could potentially fill.
However, data and performance analysis suggest that Eze may be better off staying at Crystal Palace, at least for now. After a dip in form early in the season, Eze has bounced back impressively, playing a pivotal role in Palace’s resurgence. Under manager **Oliver Glasner**, the Eagles have recovered from a rough start and are currently one of the Premier League’s in-form teams. With a game in hand and a shot at European qualification—either through the league standings or an FA Cup triumph—Palace have everything to play for. Winning the FA Cup would also mark the club’s first-ever major trophy, adding more motivation for Eze to remain part of the project.
Eze’s improved performances haven’t gone unnoticed. Although last summer was rife with rumors of a transfer, no serious negotiations took place, much to the surprise of many at the club. This year, however, the interest is far more tangible. Alongside Manchester United, **Newcastle United** have reportedly entered the race for his signature.
Despite the rising interest, analytical data from **SciSports**’ Career Advice tool suggests that Eze might benefit more from either staying at Palace or making a move to **Serie A**. Surprisingly, the club with the best fit for him, according to SciSports, is **Napoli**, scoring a Club Fit rating of 78. Napoli, who sold **Khvicha Kvaratskhelia** to PSG in January, are in desperate need of a dynamic winger or attacking midfielder. Eze’s ability to play both centrally and on the left fits their tactical needs perfectly. Other Italian giants like **Juventus** and **Inter Milan** are also seen as logical destinations.
Back in the Premier League, **Arsenal** ranks as the most suitable club for Eze, though with a slightly lower Club Fit rating of 71. This suggests that if Eze chooses to remain in England, continuing his journey with Crystal Palace wouldn’t be a bad move at all. Not only is he a key starter for Palace, but his presence in the England squad also shows that playing for a mid-tier Premier League side hasn’t hindered his international ambitions.
Ultimately, while the lure of Manchester United is strong, Eze’s loyalty, current form, and the stability at Palace under Glasner make a strong case for staying put—unless, of course, that *one condition* is met.
