Liverpool and Manchester City are battling it out for a double swoop for Crystal Palace duo Eberechi Eze and Adam Wharton, according to Ekrem Konya.
The two clubs, along with Tottenham Hotspur, were this weekend boosted by the news that winger Eze is open to a move in 2025.
According to ESPN reports, the 26-year-old England international was heavily linked with a switch away from south London in the summer, but his £68 million release clause proved too strong for interested clubs.

Now though, Eze, who has scored once in seven games for the Eagles this season, wants to look for a new challenge after Palace’s slow start to the 2024-25 campaign.
Meanwhile, Konur also reports that Liverpool and City have already held talks with Palace over the transfer of midfielder Wharton.
The 20-year-old has been impressive despite their disappointing form, and City and Liverpool could plot a move for the Blackburn Rovers youth academy product in January.
However, Palace value Wharton at €65m, which is more than both suitors are willing to offer. Their interest reportedly is in the region of €45m.
