Palace have slapped a £60m valuation on Eze (and also on Olise). Given that he signed a new contract not long ago, that is probably the release clause. After watching his performance against West Ham, that fee is a bargain in today's world. In the post match discussion the pundits said he had to be playing Champions League football next season! If they are right, that is a war chest of £12m for QPR. We just have to get over the line first! www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/c98zypwz593o |

Let's hope this happens. The only way the club can start to move forward is when Eze is sold, as long as that money is spent wisely. Without this, it will be another season of struggle next year with so many players out of contract and a rebuild likely.
It is a shame Eze could not display his current form a month or two earlier, due to injuries, as he is probably leaving it a bit late to make the England squad for the Euros although Southgate is a big fan so you never know. Get in that squad and his value would increase, even if he does not get any minutes.
Whenever I see him play, he seems to have so much time on the ball and composure. Needs to pass forward more but I am sure that when put in a stronger team, he will go from strength to strength. I think Tottenham, Arsenal and Man City would be likely destinations.

Southgate will pick 21 Harry Maguires for his squad. Eze will miss out due to being an Attacking type of player and not a defensive numpty.

Just a guess but I’d say the 20% sell on only applies to the profit they make on a sale. So we sold him for £18m…
60 - 18 = 42 @ 20% is 8.4m
Still nice money and if Nourry/Marti continue as they started it would fund a league winning squad!

With those sort of numbers any transfer fee could be going to be paid in instalments as clubs try to stay within FFP (well some do). I do not know what happens in that case - do we get the selll on in one go or in a drip feed. I suppose it depends on how we managed to word the sell on clause.

I do not know what happens in that case - do we get the selll on in one go or in a drip feed. I suppose it depends on how we managed to word the sell on clause. If the instalments are fixed and just deferred payments, with no contingency (e.g. - not linked to any future performance such as England caps, winning a cup etc) then we should get the sell-on fee at the time of the initial transfer. When clubs pay by fixed, non-contingent instalments, it is just for cashflow purposes but the accounting happens when player is sold. Unless of course, Crystal Palace request our fee to be paid overtime, and we were to agree to that - but I doubt we would as we need the cash and profit at the same time! Now if there are deferred AND contingent payments, then it gets a bit more complicated but we should get: Eg. If Eze is sold for £60m, paid £20m now, £20m in 12 months, and final £20m in 24 months, AND a further £20m (i.e. - total transfer fee is £80m) due to Crystal Palace if the buying club wins the league, then we would get: 20% of £60m = £12M = now in terms of profit (and crucially FFP rules), but cash likely to be spread in line with what Crystal Palace receive 20% of £20m = £4m = when the buying club wins the league, if that happens/does not expire - ie. - as long as Crystal Palace get it, then we get our slice later too - unless something is agreed earlier between us and Crystal Palace such as them paying us off early at a discount to the £4m, for example. |

I read, somewhere but can't find source, it was linked to transfer fee and not profit so we should be entitled to the higher fee. |

Yes it is 20% of the fee Palace receive. The reason being that when he sold Eze we received a higher bid that Palace was prepared to pay. But Exe wanted to join Palace and not the other club. So the compromise was that we sold to Palace for their then maximum and receive 20% of the sell-on. Good business with hindsight!

That’s an excellent deal. So even if Eze had suffered a drop in form and was sold on for £10m we would still get 2m.

Hopefully, Palace will sell early and not on transfer deadline day.
They have certainly opened the auction early.
Having North of £120m (Olise & Eze) is little use to them if they do not have the time to spend it wisely, and a Palace team without replacements for Eze and Olise would be relegation fodder.
I just hope we do not waste any windfall like we did with Ferdinand.
