Premier League club engages in negotiations that could potentially outdo Arsenal's bid for Eberechi Eze, as a bombshell regarding a release clause emerges.
In the bustling world of Premier League football, the transfer saga surrounding Eberechi Eze, Crystal Palace's talented midfielder, has taken a new turn.
The £68 million release clause in Eze's contract at Crystal Palace expired at the start of the 2025/26 season, on or around mid-August 2025. This development means that Crystal Palace are no longer contractually obliged to accept offers at that release clause value, and any transfer now depends on negotiation between clubs. The Eagles still value Eze at around £70 million and have two years left on his contract.
Tottenham Hotspur have shown keen interest, hoping to negotiate a deal for a slightly lower fee since the clause has expired. Arsenal are also in the race, having monitored Eze's situation throughout the summer. Spurs have reopened talks to sign Eze, with reports suggesting they are prepared to pay around £60m.
Meanwhile, Crystal Palace chairman Steve Parish has admitted that the club can never rule out selling their players. However, the Eagles are not scheduled to face Spurs in the league until December 27, giving both clubs ample time to finalise any potential deal.
Eze, who has scored 40 goals and provided 28 assists in 168 appearances for Crystal Palace since joining in 2020, helped Crystal Palace win the Community Shield by beating Liverpool at Wembley Stadium on Sunday. His performance has not gone unnoticed, with former Spurs player Alan Pardew urging Eze to snub Arsenal in favour of Tottenham Hotspur.
As the Premier League campaign for the 2022-2023 season gathers pace, the transfer market buzzes with activity. City are holding out for more than £50million to sell Savinho during the current transfer window, while Marc Guehi is into the final year of his contract with Crystal Palace.
In other news, Thomas Frank is believed to be pushing for the transfer of Eze, and Eze himself has expressed interest in a move to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
With the transfer window still open and the season in full swing, the Eze-to-Spurs saga promises to keep football fans on the edge of their seats. Stay tuned for more updates.
