I haven’t seen Eze’s contract and doubt that anybody on this site has either. However, if it is true that it includes a release clause which clubs are currently seeking to exercise, it puts further emphasis on the point which I raised earlier in this discussion. I disagree that our only option is to include the clauses if we want to sign these players. There’s another option which is to sign players who want to play for the club and are not looking for an exit before the ink is barely dry on the contract. There’s an argument that it gives the club certainty if a sale is made. I know if we sell Eze and Olise with release clauses we will make far more money than we paid for them. Furthermore, let’s hire Brighton’s negotiator to prepare the release clauses.

Furthermore, let’s hire Brighton’s negotiator to prepare the release clauses. My take is that both Olise and Eze would only sign new contracts provided a release clause was included. If the club had not done so then it's possible that both players ( Olise certainly ) would have already left the club. Agree that the amount of the release clause seems heavily weighted in favour of the players in these cases. Olise is certainly worth far more than Palace are receiving for him. In terms of Caceido and Cucerella, my understanding was that Caceido didn't have a fee attached to his release clause and Cucurella didn't have one at all. But it seems ridiculous that Brighton were able to extract those sums for those players.

Both were signed by Chelsea last season when the club embarked on a gargantuan spending spree, purchasing 11 players. Edited by Willo (26 Jun 2024 9.46am)

In the case of Olise , maybe built in the clause was the demand only a major club outside of the Premier league could deal. Failing that maybe no premier side could meet a financial demand, in fact that’s what some have claimed . Either way it seems any effort by a home club to trigger a release clause was only possible at great expense.

Furthermore, let’s hire Brighton’s negotiator to prepare the release clauses. It's been said by many journo's close to Palace that Olise is the only one with release clause. I'm not sure though as though Eze was £60m with £8m added on to him and QPR. It's also often been said he hasn't got a release clause but has a gentleman's agreement with Parish that he can leave this summer if a suitable bid comes in.

Part of the problem with release clauses (at least for the selling club) is that a players market value can change fast, what seems like a reasonable release clause one day can seem ridiculously undervalued just a few weeks later. Originally posted by NEILLO

Of course only people very close to release clauses know all the details. We know that Olise was complicated and involved a percentage to reading and player. I think it also had a time limit which is it had to be completed by 30th June (this year's finance cut off point). The figure of 50m now in the press maybe what we get after others have been paid as I suspect clause made buying club pay them direct. I think Eze is a little different I don't think he has a release clause but a gentleman agreement for an acceptable offer ie we will not stand in his way. Again this may have time limits attached He also was rejected by a number of clubs so may be more inclined to stay where he is happy. Olise had a number of clubs as a youth player but moved by choice to further his career. I may being overly hopeful but I think Eze will give us another year
