Eberechi Eze has £68 million release clause as Tottenham ponder move, January deal unlikely

Crystal Palace are set to open contract negotiations with Eberechi Eze.

Tottenham are still interested in Eberechi Eze, as the playmaker’s Crystal Palace contract still has a release clause worth £68 million.

According to Team Talk, Eberechi Eze’s suitors could now consider a summer move for the Crystal Palace playmaker. He still has a £68 million release clause that will be active during the close season. Tottenham is one of the sides keen on the England international, although a January move is highly unlikely.

Crystal Palace did an excellent job with their transfer dealings in the summer, especially keeping most of their best stars, barring Michael Olise. The big boost for the squad was the retention of Eberechi Eze, but there are question marks over how long the Eagles can hold on to their star playmaker.

Eze did sign a new deal last November, which keeps him at Selhurst Park at least until 2027, although there are no guarantees he will remain there until then. In fact, his deal has a £68 million release clause that will be active next summer, much like it was this time around.

Palace are reportedly trying to extend his stay at the club by offering a new deal, but Eze is exploring his options in the market. Hence, there could be a sense of urgency in the corridors of Selhurst Park ahead of the following windows, as extending his deal will be imperative for the club. Eze currently makes £5 million-a-year wages at Palace, and there is a belief he could earn much higher elsewhere for the reputation he has garnered.

Crystal Palace could also be forced to sell Eze ahead of his time, as the more time he spends here without signing a new deal, the more his value will depreciate. However, the Eagles will be adamant about getting a price close to his £68 million release clause, which will still be within the range of some of the top clubs.

Tottenham keen on Eberechi Eze

While there is no chance of a January move for Eze, Tottenham are keen to bring him to North London. They do fear Arsenal hijacking any future deal for Eze, but they appeared well-placed to sign him during the summer. The finances involved meant it was always difficult for Tottenham to sign both the Crystal Palace playmaker and Dominic Solanke, having splashed £65 million on the striker.

Eze could be a big signing for Tottenham next summer as they continue to build a solid squad under Ange Postecoglou. Daniel Levy will be open to backing the Australian in his efforts to bring Spurs to a reasonable level among the Premier League’s elite sides. If it means splashing on Eze, then the Tottenham supremo might splash the cash.
