Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur are ready to trigger the release clause to sign Eberechi Eze from Crystal Palace.
According to a report by Football Insider, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur are interested in signing Eberechi Eze in the summer transfer window. The Englishman’s contract with Crystal Palace has a release clause worth £60 million. And the two Premier League giants are ready to trigger it to secure his services.
Eberechi Eze and his impact for Crystal Palace
Eberechi Eze has come leaps and bounds since joining Crystal Palace from Queens Park Rangers in August 2020. He took some time to settle down at Selhurst Park but was a pivotal figure when his debut season at the South London club ended. Since then, the Englishman has been a mainstay in the middle of the park for them.
Eze’s exploits for Crystal Palace have helped him establish a foothold in the English national team. Meanwhile, the 25-year-old enjoyed an exceptional 2023/24 campaign, contributing to 17 goals in 31 appearances across all competitions by finding the back of the net 11 times and providing six assists.
Meanwhile, the English international has captured the attention of several high-profile Premier League clubs with his exploits for Crystal Palace. Eze has appeared on the radar of almost every ‘Big Six’ club, with Manchester United and Tottenham, in particular, pushing for his signature.
Big move across the Premier League on the cards?
Manchester United’s interest in Eberechi Eze is understandable. The Red Devils are keen on signing a versatile midfielder amid uncertainties surrounding the futures of Donny van de Beek and Christian Eriksen. The duo will likely leave Manchester United this summer, compelling them to scour the market for a replacement.
As for Tottenham, the North London giants hold a long-standing interest in Eze. With Manor Solomon and Richarlison facing an uncertain future at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, the 25-year-old Englishman can be a long-term offensive solution. Meanwhile, Eze’s contract with Crystal Palace has a release clause worth £60 million.
Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur are ready to cough up the required £60 million to secure Eberechi Eze’s services in the summer transfer window. While Oliver Glasner wants to block the English international’s summer departure, the release clause in his contract leaves the decision out of the Crystal Palace manager’s hands.
