Bayern Munich are reportedly considering making a move for Crystal Palace attacker Eberechi Eze during this summer's transfer window.
The 26-year-old has been in excellent form for Palace during the 2024-25 campaign, scoring 14 goals and registering 11 assists in 42 appearances in all competitions, including eight goals and eight assists in 33 Premier League outings.
Eze is set to leave Selhurst Park during the summer market, with a number of clubs, including Manchester United, Manchester City, Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur, believed to be keen on his services.
According to The Mirror, there is also significant interest from Bayern, with the German champions viewing the England international as a potential alternative to Florian Wirtz.
Liverpool are currently well-placed to sign Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen, leading to Bayern considering their options, and Eze allegedly features on their attacking shortlist.

Bayern 'weighing up' summer move for Palace star Eze
The report claims that Brighton & Hove Albion's Kaoru Mitoma and AC Milan's Rafael Leao are also options for Bayern, with Vincent Kompany's side bidding to bring in a new attacker during the summer market.
Eze will allegedly have a £60m release clause in his contract this summer, although the cost of the deal is likely to be closer to £68m once various add-ons have been taken into consideration.
Bayern have built a positive relationship with Palace, having signed Michael Olise from the Eagles last year, and it is understood that the Munich giants are confident of being able to secure a deal.
Eze made the move to Palace from Queens Park Rangers in the summer of 2020, and he has represented the Eagles on 166 occasions in all competitions, scoring 40 goals and registering 28 assists.

How has Olise performed for Bayern this season?
Olise swapped Selhurst Park for Allianz Arena last summer, and the 23-year-old has had an excellent first season at Bayern, scoring 17 goals and registering 21 assists in 50 appearances in all competitions.
The Frenchman contributed 12 goals and 18 assists in 34 Bundesliga outings, while he managed five goals and two assists in 14 outings in the Champions League, proving that he can operate at the highest level.
Eze will surely be tempted to join England captain Harry Kane in Germany, but there are also set to be significant offers from the Premier League, with his excellent season leading to a host of clubs expressing their interest.
