- Maddison injury sparks transfer hunt
- Palace racing to find replacement
Losing Maddison for the campaign left the club reeling, and Frank demanded urgent action in the market. According to توك سبورت Levy has delivered, as a transfer fee has now been thrashed out between the two clubs for Eze. However, the transfer officially going through still depends on Palace securing a replacement, and they face a race against time with the new الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز season already underway and the summer window slamming shut on September 1.
Eze has been at Selhurst Park for five years, and his £68m ($92m) release clause expired on Friday. He featured in Palace’s goalless draw with تشيلسي at Stamford Bridge in their Premier League opener, but his body language suggested that could be his final game for the club. As the final whistle blew, Eze applauded the away fansfor a prolonged spell, appearing to signal a farewell.
Palace have already set their sights on ليستر‘s Bilal El Khannouss as Eze’s replacement.The Moroccan playmaker’s £22m ($30m) release clause expired, leaving the Foxes in a powerful negotiating position. Leicester now want closer to £30m ($40.5m), a figure significantly higher than the release clause. Another name being floated is Christos Tzolis of كلوب بروج, familiar to Premier League fans from his time with نورويتش.
Eze continues to train with the Palace squad, and Oliver Glasner could still use him during the first leg of their دوري المؤتمرات play-off round tie against Fredrikstad on Thursday.
