Liverpool were rumoured to be primed to make a move for Eze, who had a £60 million (€71m) release clause in his contract until 16 August. Neither club triggered that figure and while there were later reports that a £68m (€80.5m) bid could be launched later in the window, no move was ultimately made.

Liverpool is interested in signing Eberechi Eze from Crystal Palace.

Liverpool's new coach Arne Slot has identified Eze as a potential quality reinforcement for the upcoming season. Liverpool may take the lead in the race if rivals hesitate.

Liverpool too are interested in signing Eze, whose contract at Palace contains a release clause worth a minimum of £60m.
