Liverpool Eyeing Historic £70m Move for “Dangerous” 26-Year-Old Sensation
Liverpool are reportedly considering a summer move for a player who recently etched his name into the history books.
Next Sunday’s clash with Crystal Palace at Anfield promises a celebratory atmosphere, as the Reds will lift the Premier League trophy while their opponents savor their historic FA Cup victory.
The Eagles secured their first-ever major silverware on Saturday, with Eberechi Eze scoring the decisive goal at Wembley. Unsurprisingly, the 26-year-old midfielder has become a sought-after target as the transfer window approaches.
Liverpool’s Interest in Eberechi Eze
According to CaughtOffside, Liverpool are among several clubs monitoring the England international, who has a £70m release clause in his Crystal Palace contract. However, the Reds have yet to initiate contact, leaving Tottenham Hotspur and Nottingham Forest as the frontrunners in the pursuit of the Palace star.
Liverpool’s hopes could hinge on Palace’s demand for the full release clause to be paid upfront, a condition that might derail Tottenham’s attempts to secure Eze’s signature.
Liverpool Could Turn to Eze if Wirtz Pursuit Falters
Eberechi Eze, who scored the winning goal during Crystal Palace’s last visit to Anfield in April 2024, has long been associated with potential interest from Liverpool. However, will this summer finally see the Reds make a definitive move for the 26-year-old?
Praised by his manager Oliver Glasner as a “dangerous” player and an “unbelievable finisher” (The Independent), Eze’s standout season has reinforced his reputation. With 13 goals—including six in his last five games—and 11 assists to his name (Transfermarkt), the FA Cup final hero has been pivotal for Palace.
Liverpool’s decision to pursue Eze could hinge on their efforts to secure Bayer Leverkusen’s Florian Wirtz, for whom a “concrete” proposal has reportedly been made (Empire of the Kop). While Eze may not be Liverpool’s top priority, he could emerge as a key target if the Wirtz deal falls through.
At 26, Eze is in the prime of his career, has a proven impact in English football, and meets homegrown player criteria—attributes that have made him a hot commodity even before his recent Wembley heroics.
