Eberechi Eze sends goodbye message as Crystal Palace exit confirmed
Eberechi Eze left a farewell message following confirmation of a departure from Crystal Palace.
Eze has been in outstanding form for Crystal Palace this season, contributing 23 goals and assists across all competitions and playing a key role in the club’s strong end to the campaign.
However, his performances haven’t gone unnoticed. Football Insider revealed that Manchester City are preparing to make a move for Eze following the FA Cup final.
Pep Guardiola’s side will face Crystal Palace at Wembley on 17 May, with a chance to deny Oliver Glasner’s team a first major trophy in their history.
Man City have held a previous interest in Eze, and the final could serve as a platform for him to impress the hierarchy should he shine under the spotlight.
Amid growing speculation about his future, the 26-year-old posted a farewell message following confirmation of his exit from the club.
Eberechi Eze dedicates message to Joel Ward after Crystal Palace exit
On 13 May, the official club account confirmed that Joel Ward will leave Crystal Palace at the end of the season, bringing an end to his 13-year spell in south London.
A host of players sent in their tributes, and Eze was among them, reposting the announcement with a salute emoji in honour of the long-serving defender.
Ward, now 35, holds the record for the most Premier League appearances in the club’s history, racking up 308 in the top flight.
He joined from Portsmouth in 2012 and was named club captain ahead of the 2023/24 season. In total, he has featured 363 times for Palace.

Man City face Premier League battle for Eberechi Eze amid growing interest
Alongside Ward, Eze could also be on his way out of Selhurst Park this summer, with several top clubs circling.
Football Insider revealed that Liverpool have joined the list of sides monitoring Eze, who has delivered consistently all season.
But the Merseyside giants are far from alone. Arsenal, Tottenham, and Man United have all expressed interest in the England international, with a summer move on the cards.
Eze’s £60 million release clause is believed to be a key factor in the growing attention, and while Palace are determined not to lose their star man, the level of interest may prove difficult to fend off.
