The last day! Eze s 68 million pounds termination fee will expire after today, Arsenal has no intention of activate
According to multiple British media, the termination clause worth £68 million in Crystal Palace midfielder Eze's contract will expire after today.
BBC previously confirmed that Eze's termination clause will expire two weeks before the start of the Premier League, which is this Saturday local time, so today is the last chance to activate the clause. After this, Eze's transfer will need to be reached through negotiations with Crystal Palace, which can make any fee requirements they think are reasonable.
Previously, talkSPORT reported that Arsenal had informed Crystal Palace that it had no intention of activate Eze's 68 million pound termination clause.
The Post said that Arsenal is in contact with Eze's team and the conclusion of the deal is not just based on the Crystal Palace asking price. Arsenal's valuation of Eze is below 68 million pounds, and if Crystal Palace is worried that Eze will enter the contract year next year, they may lower their valuation of him after closing the window.
In addition, Arsenal also needs to make a large sale to raise funds for Eze's transfer. The Gunners spent nearly £200 million to sign multiple players this summer. Zinchenko, Nelson, Vieira and Loconga are all facing the possibility of being sold.
