Arsenal have been handed a dream Eberechi Eze transfer update with Crystal Palace’s terms to sanction an exit changing. The 26-year-old was exceptional for the final few months of the 2024/25 season, and was key to their stunning FA Cup triumph.Despite a bottom-half finish, and concerns over the club’s ownership, Palace will play in the Europa League next season having won the first major honour in the club’s history.Eze may well want to be part of a historic campaign for Palace, but his ambitions could go further than that with Tottenham and Arsenal, both in the Champions League, keepings tabs on his situation.
Despite back-to-back campaigns hitting double-figures for goals, there’s minimal interest in his services. That may be because to get the very best out of him, a back=five system with two roaming No.10s is required and not many teams deploy that.Since the arrival of Ruben Amorim, Manchester United line up that particular way, but they’ve already confirmed the signing of Matheus Cunha with the likely aim being to play him in Eze’s position.
Despite his nationality, a triple-figure demand has not been set by Palace with the release clause in his contract being £68million. To make a potential deal even more appealing, £8million of that value is available through add-ons and just recently another financial incentive emerged.
Journalist Graeme Bailey has stated, via TBR Football, that Palace owner Steve Parish is open to his release clause being paid in instalments. It has been specifically stated in the report that the Eagles want between £25million to £30million as the initial fee and then £30million to £35million paid over two instalments.
