EBERECHI EZE’S admirers face forking out a huge release clause.
Crystal Palace are braced for summer transfer scrambles over the England attacking midfielder and winger Michael Olise.
Tottenham have been the club most strongly linked with 25-year-old Eze, while champions Manchester City have also been mentioned.
Meanwhile, Olise’s Euro 2024 snub by France has not weakened his value.
Manchester United and City, as well as Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea, are reportedly weighing up offers for the 22-year-old.
The Mail say Eze has a £60million release clause that Palace would want in full, plus add-ons of up to £8m.
Olise is also rated at around £60m after the duo helped the Eagles end the season with a flourish under Oliver Glasner to come 10th in the Prem.
The two flair players are both under contract until 2027.
And Eze could yet send his valuation soaring if he shines in the Euros.
The Independent suggest the Londoner might be most tempted by Spurs.

But Palace hope the pair won’t want to risk their development – which, if anything, has grown with Glasner’s preference for stylish short passing.
Eze’s priority for now is making an impact on his first major tournament, starting next week.
But Three Lions’ chief Gareth Southgate confirmed he won’t block his squad from any transfer negotiations.
He said: “I’ve never banned players from having discussions.
“It’s a fact of life, even if transfers don’t complete, talks are ongoing, normally across the summer with players.
“I’m always there for them if they want to bounce things off.
“We are in a world where there might have to be deals done quickly – who knows.”
