So basically Arsenal from today on can\u2019t go pay the clause and get the player. It will take a negotiation with Crystal Palace.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAccording to my sources, this negotiation club to club has not started yet. In the last two days, someone said the negotiation started. I\u2019m told that the negotiation club to club has not started yet. But sources at Crystal Palace expect Arsenal to arrive for Eze.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhy? Because Arsenal have been in contact for months now with the agents of Eze, because Eze is very appreciated by Arsenal, because Arsenal still want to add the player if they will have the opportunity to.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey spoke to the player several times and the player is also very keen on a move. So Palace expect Arsenal to arrive.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLet\u2019s see when let\u2019s see how this conversation will go. Let\u2019s so let\u2019s see financially what they can do. But now the clause has 24 hours. Then the story is going to be over in the next hours basically for in terms of the release clause. It\u2019s going to be over for the clause not for Arsenal, because Arsenal remain absolutely interested in the player.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Man Utd have been rejected by Real Madrid winger Rodrygo, while Arsenal have decided to \u2018distance\u2019 themselves from&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":309057,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4100],"tags":[16404,161,20405,94,225,98,12,101,34876,79,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-309056","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-football","8":"tag-anthony-gordon","9":"tag-arsenal","10":"tag-eberechi-eze","11":"tag-football","12":"tag-home-page","13":"tag-manchester-united","14":"tag-news","15":"tag-premier-league","16":"tag-rodrygo","17":"tag-sports","18":"tag-uk","19":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114953166825395329","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/309056","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=309056"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/309056\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/309057"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=309056"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=309056"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=309056"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
