According to the Guardian, Arsenal continues to negotiate with Crystal Palace on Eze, and Crystal Palace hopes that Arsenal will pay at least £67.5 million in transfer fees for it. According to reports, Arsenal was told that if he wanted to sign Eze, he would need to pay more than half of his termination fee in advance. Crystal Palace firmly requires the transfer fee to be no less than £67.5 million (including bonus).
It is reported that Arsenal officials have conducted preliminary negotiations with Crystal Palace on Eze's transfer. Crystal Palace said it will not accept a offer lower than Eze's termination fee and demanded that a down payment of £35 million was paid first, and the remaining fees can be paid in installments.
It is reported that Eze's termination clause will expire before the start of the Premier League season on August 16, but this will not affect Crystal Palace's valuation of Eze.
Arsenal officials met with Eze's representative last month to discuss personal terms, and it is reported that Eze hopes to join Arsenal.
Eze played 43 games for Crystal Palace last season, scoring 14 goals and assisting 11 times. His contract with Crystal Palace will expire in 2027.
