Crystal Palace slap HUGE price tags on star duo Eberechi Eze and Michael Olise as Premier League rivals hover
CRYSTAL PALACE will only entertain offers for star duo Eberechi Eze and Michael Olise that start at a whopping £60million for each player.
Eze, 25, and Olise, 22, have shone brightly at Selhurst Park in the last few years and that has led to intense interest from a raft of elite clubs.

However, the Eagles are looking to take advantage of their strong negotiating position as they are safe from relegation and not at all obliged to sell their best players in the summer.
Plus, both forwards are tied down to contracts that run until 2027 and thus Oliver Glasner’s side is in no rush.
According to the BBC, Palace understand it is still highly likely suitors will come back during the summer transfer window.
But they will have to splash at least £60m for each player and a potential bidding war would drive the price even higher.
However, any deal would be complex with percentages due to the attackers’ former clubs, the players themselves and of course Palace.
Nevertheless, as SunSport revealed, Palace are preparing potential transfer contingency plans by drawing up a shortlist of targets that would succeed the pair.
Eze was targeted by Manchester City last summer but the Treble winners ultimately went for Wolves star Matheus Nunes.
Tottenham have also shown interest in the playmaker during this season.

Chelsea, on the other hand, tried to land Olise by offering £35m to their Premier League foes.
Manchester United and Juventus have also been eyeing the winger in the last few months.
However, both players are happy at Palace and would only consider a move that benefits them.
That is why they would seriously consider a number of important factors, such as guarantees of first-team football.
