Report: Two clubs are willing to trigger Eberechi Eze’s release clause
Tottenham Hotspur are willing to trigger Eberechi Eze’s release clause this summer but so are another Premier League side, according to The Sun.
Tottenham face competition for Eberechi Eze
A number of media outlets over the last few months have indicated that Eze has been identified as one of their top summer targets by Ange Postecoglou’s side.
This includes a recent update by The Times, who claimed that Spurs are expected to push ahead with a move for the 25-year-old when he returns from the Euros, with the player said to have a release clause of £60m in his contract.
A few days ago, GiveMeSport also suggested that Eze is one of the two attacking midfield options at the top of Tottenham’s wishlist, alongside Rennes’ Desire Doue, adding that the North London club are prepared to spend big on the Eagles star.
The playmaker is represented by CAA Base – the agency that represents Ange Postecoglou and several other Spurs players.
Manchester City are also willing to pay £60m clause
The Sun have now also put the value of Eze’s release clause at £60m and they claim that Spurs are willing to trigger that to bring the player to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
However, the publication adds that the Lilywhites have to contend with competition from Manchester City, with the Premier League champions also allegedly ready to trigger the clause.
The England international racked up 11 goal contributions over the course of 31 appearances during the 2023/24 campaign.

If the likes of Man City, Arsenal and Liverpool enter the race for Eze, things would get quite challenging for Tottenham as the 25-year-old’s head would be turned by those clubs.
That might be why Spurs are trying to cover their basis by also holding negotiations over a deal to sign Desire Doue.
