According to England's authoritative media, the Mail, Crystal Palace midfield core Eze's release clause will be activated again in next summer's transfer window, which sets a release fee of up to £68 million, consisting of a £60 million base fee plus an £8 million surcharge. This news is undoubtedly an important point of information for fans and clubs following the Premier League transfer market.
It is worth noting that Eze's release clause had lapsed after the start of the Premier League season, but according to the Mail, the clause will automatically regain its validity with the end of the season and the amount of the release fee will remain unchanged at £68 million. This setup makes Eze a potential favorite on the transfer market in next summer's window, especially for those big clubs seeking to strengthen their midfield, Eze is undoubtedly an attractive target.
In the face of this potential risk, Crystal Palace FC have shown a strong willingness to retain the player. According to reports, the crystal palace has made it clear that they are willing to negotiate a new contract with Eze before 2025, in order to improve the treatment, extend the contract period, etc. to lock this young and talented midfield general. After all, Eze is only 26 years old, is in the golden period of his career, and his price has been as high as 55 million euros, which is enough to prove his great value in the transfer market.
However, for Eze himself, whether he accepts Crystal Palace's offer to extend his contract is still uncertain. As an ambitious player, he may consider his career development plan and future competitive platform. If Crystal Palace fails to provide enough competitiveness and development space, then Eze will likely choose to use the release clause to leave the team in the summer window next year to seek new challenges and opportunities.
