Eberechi Eze's £68M Release Clause to Reactivate

The UK's HM Treasury has officially confirmed the extension of the Enterprise Investment Scheme (EIS) sunset clause to 2035, allowing EIS relief and Venture Capital Trusts relief to apply to shares issued until that date. This decision follows a successful campaign by the Enterprise Investment Scheme Association, emphasizing the importance of continued investment in high-risk ventures to fuel UK entrepreneurship. Meanwhile, Crystal Palace's Eberechi Eze is at the center of transfer speculation as his £68 million release clause is set to reactivate next summer, after having expired this season. Despite interest from clubs like Manchester City, Tottenham, and Newcastle, no team activated the clause during the summer transfer window. Palace chairman Steve Parish expressed surprise at the lack of offers for Eze, who has become a key player since joining the club. The club may consider negotiating a lower fee for Eze to facilitate a potential move, reflecting their track record of developing young talent.
