https://www.wearepalace.uk/transfer...dvanced-talks-with-68m-crystal-palace-player/ A Palace website suggesting that Eze is deep in transfer talks with Tottenham. Looks like he'll be gone if Spurs meet the release clause fee.
Let’s hope Levy doesn’t do his usual reducing cash layout by adding cast off Spurs players into the deal.
Annoyingly for us that would suit both of them, I am presuming the clause is only for cash paid. Would also help their FFP (not that Spurs ever reach those limits).
Eze https://www.theguardian.com/footbal...-move-for-eze-with-de-bruyne-future-uncertain Good luck to the lad
Some person on fb claims we have 4 players in coming. Not sure what he is on....but it has to be good stuff
QUEENS PARK RANGERS JOIN METZ IN THE CHASE OF GIJON’S JONATHAN VARANE please log in to view this image July 23, 2024 Coming through Lens’ academy just like his older brother Raphael, Jonathan Varane (22) could return to France, as FC Metz have set their sights on the French midfielder. However, the Ligue 2 side faces fierce competition from Queens Park Rangers, who have already submitted a first proposal to Gijon, according to L’Equipe. Relegated to Ligue 2 following a defeat in the playoffs against AS Saint-Etienne, Metz are looking to strengthen their squad with the aim of taking the league by storm and coming straight back to Ligue 1, just like AJ Auxerre and Angers did last season. With Kévin N’Doram (28) having left the club following his contract expiry, Les Grenats are now in search of a new midfielder and are targeting Varane, who came off an inconsistent season with La Liga 2’s Sporting Gijon. Advantage QPR for Varane The 22-year-old midfielder has never managed to climb his manager’s pecking order since his arrival from Lens in the summer of 22, playing 40 games across both seasons. In 2023-24, while Gijon managed to qualify for the promotion playoffs before failing against Espanyol Barcelone, Varane enjoyed only five starts out of the 22 games he took part in, playing a nominal 702 minutes in total. Sporadic gametime, but enough to gather interest from both France and England. According to L’Equipe, Championship’s side Queens Park Rangers could have the edge on Varane’s deal, as they have submitted a €1.2M proposal to Gijon, with bonuses and a future sale percentage. Having to deal with a restricted budget due to the TV rights turmoil and their relegation to Ligue 2, Metz could have difficulties challenging QPR’s offer.
Old news pal, we put in a tentative bid which was dismissed out of hand by them. They value the player at at least double what we bid. Lots of other clubs interested on him aswell, and I believe we've moved on to other targets. Since we bought Celar, I'm not sure we have too much more to spend at the moment , unless Eze is suddenly signed up by someone. As it looks like De Bruyne is staying at City, a move for Eze to there is almost certainly out of the question for now. Hopefully Spurs will put a bid in for him, although with Maddison there, I can't see where Eze would play !
This report from the 8th July claimed we'd had a 2 million Euro bid rejected for him. Quite why we'd then bid 1.2 million euros for him as your report claims, is beyond dopey lol. I fear its lazy journalism, and I've heard that we've since moved on to other possibilities. We'll just have to wait and see
I see our old friend JET has signed for Morton, I wonder how long that will last? No doubt Steely will keep us informed...
