It has been reported that Crystal Palace’s attacking midfielder, Eberechi Eze, could be available for a transfer next year with a release clause of £68 million. This clause can be activated with an upfront offer of £60 million plus an additional £8 million in add-ons. Despite interest from clubs like Manchester City, Tottenham Hotspur, and Newcastle United, Palace is hoping to extend Eze’s contract. However, the release clause remains a factor that could lead to a potential move for the 26-year-old England international.
Chelsea’s transfer department is reportedly working on offloading five players in the near future. Among these players, 27-year-old Ben Chilwell is the most senior figure that the club is looking to part ways with. Additionally, forwards David Datro Fofana, Deivid Washington, Harvey Vale, and Alex Matos are also said to be on the list of players being moved on. This could lead to a significant reshaping of Chelsea’s squad under new manager Enzo Maresca.
Former Juventus midfielder Adrien Rabiot, who has been available as a free agent since the summer, has reportedly received an offer from Al Nassr. The Saudi Pro League club has proposed a deal worth €20 million per season to the 29-year-old midfielder. This move could see Rabiot making a significant switch in his career and joining a new club for the upcoming season.
Newcastle United has made it clear that they won’t allow clubs to inflate their transfer demands due to their owners. The Magpies recently walked away from negotiations over a move for Crystal Palace centre-back Marc Guéhi. This decision came after Newcastle was asked to make an offer worth £70 million, which was deemed too high. The club is focusing on a long-term strategy when it comes to identifying potential squad reinforcements.
Ajax’s attempt to sign Southampton winger Kamaldeen Sulemana has hit a roadblock, according to recent reports. The Eredivisie side was hoping to secure Sulemana as a replacement for Steven Bergwijn. However, due to a late submission of paperwork for the 22-year-old winger, Ajax will now have to wait until January to revisit the possibility of signing him. This setback could see Ajax exploring other options in the meantime.
Negotiations are currently underway between PAOK and the representatives of centre-back Kostas Manolas. The 33-year-old defender, who has been linked with AS Roma, is available as a free agent after his contract with Serie B side Salernitana expired in June.

The transfer market remains active even after the summer deadline has passed. Clubs across Europe are still looking to make moves and strengthen their squads ahead of the upcoming season. With rumors swirling and negotiations ongoing, it will be interesting to see which deals come to fruition in the months leading up to the January transfer window.
