Crystal Palace set £60m price tag for star forwards Eze and Olise

Crystal Palace has set a high price tag for their star forwards Eberechi Eze and Michael Olise, with the club only entertaining offers that start at £60m or more for each player. The Eagles, who have secured their 12th season of Premier League football, are in a strong financial position and do not need to sell either player. However, with the impressive performances of Eze and Olise attracting interest from other clubs, Palace is prepared for bids to come in this summer.

Both players signed long-term deals this season, giving Palace a strong negotiating position. The absence of straightforward release clauses in their contracts means that any potential deal will be complex, with various parties involved in the negotiations.

Eze, in particular, has been receiving praise for his performances, with Match of the Day pundit Danny Murphy describing him as a “Champions League player.” The duo of Eze and Olise have been instrumental for Palace, contributing to 13 of the 14 goals scored in the six games they have started together.

In addition to Eze and Olise, Palace has also made successful signings from the Championship under sporting director Dougie Freedman, including Marc Guehi and Adam Wharton. Wharton, in particular, has impressed since his move from Blackburn, with his passing and vision benefiting Eze and Olise in dangerous areas.

Guehi, who has been excellent for Palace and has earned a place in the England set-up, could also attract interest this summer as he enters the last two years of his contract. With a talented squad at their disposal, Palace is set for an interesting transfer window as they look to hold on to their key players while also considering potential offers.
