Liverpool and Tottenham battle for ‘world-class’ Premier League talent with a £60 million release clause.

Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur are expected to be active in the summer transfer window as they seek to strengthen their squads ahead of next season.

The Reds were in the Premier League title fight for much of the season, but experienced a late-season slump, finishing third in the table.

Meanwhile, Tottenham were in contention for the Champions League until mid-April, but ultimately finished fifth.

A Premier League star who has been linked with both Liverpool and Tottenham has now been confirmed to have a release clause.

Crystal Palace sources have revealed to TBR Football that England player Eberechi Eze has a release clause in his contract.

Eze signed his current contract late last year, and it was thought that it contained a provision.

TBR can now confirm the existence of a clause, which we are informed is comparable to Michael Olise’s and worth at least £60 million.

While Eze’s clause, like Olise’s, is active, Palace has made it clear to both players that they do not want them to leave and that if they do, their clauses should be paid in full – rather than accepting any form of deal.

Eze, who has been named to England’s Euro 2024 squad, has several suitors, including Liverpool, Tottenham, and Newcastle, all of which are aware of his contractual status.

Liverpool and Tottenham are buoyed by Eberechi Eze’s release clause

We’ve all seen how excellent Eze is at the top level, so the news that the ‘world-class’ 25-year-old has a release clause is fantastic for Liverpool and Tottenham.

Obviously, a player of Eze’s calibre will not come cheap, but if a club is willing to activate the release clause, Palace cannot stand in his way.

Let us see what occurs in the coming weeks. Without a doubt, Eze would be an excellent addition to any of the Premier League’s best teams; the only question now is who is ready to put up the money.

Following the announcement of Manchester United’s transfer statement, Liverpool is “leading race for £102 million” midfielder.

Joao Neves, a midfielder for Benfica, is reportedly being linked to Liverpool in a mega-money transfer.

According to reports, Liverpool will have competition this summer from Chelsea, Manchester United, and Bayern Munich in the fight for Benfica midfield player Joao Neves.

The 19-year-old midfielder’s breakout season, which saw him play in 55 games across all competitions, has been linked to a big-money move away from the Estadio da Luz.

Shortly after Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s minority ownership was disclosed in January, Neves was linked to a move to United; however, Benfica denied rumours that the Portugal international was in talks to move to Old Trafford.

O Jogo, however, claims that Neves will be the focus of an enormous financial bidding battle involving some of the best teams in Europe. The Reds, United, Chelsea, Arsenal, Bayern Munich, and Paris Saint-Germain are all rumoured to be interested in signing the 19-year-old. Liverpool and the other three Premier League teams are allegedly “leading the race” for the midfield player, though.

According to the article, if Neves were to leave Benfica this summer, the team would require any potential bidders to fulfil his £102.3 million release clause.

When asked in February about his future at Benfica, Neves responded, “Will you be staying at Benfica next year? Nothing about the upcoming season is guaranteed. Right now, I would like to remain at Benfica, but we shall see—you never know. His current deal with Benfica expires in 2028.
