Millwall is set to experience fresh heartbreak over Eberechi Eze as Queens Park Rangers (QPR) and Crystal Palace prepare to reap significant financial rewards from the player’s potential transfer. Eze, who was released by Millwall as a teenager, has become a top target for several Premier League clubs, including Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal.

Eze’s Journey

– Released by Millwall: Eze joined QPR in 2016 after being released by Millwall. He went on to become a star player for QPR, scoring 14 goals in 46 appearances in the Sky Bet Championship.

– Signed by Crystal Palace: In August 2020, Crystal Palace signed Eze from QPR for £16 million, with potential add-ons worth £4 million. QPR also negotiated a 20% sell-on clause as part of the deal ¹ ².

Potential Transfer Fee

– £60 million valuation: With Eze’s potential transfer fee estimated to be around £60 million, QPR’s sell-on clause could net them a significant £12 million.

Impact on Millwall

– Regret over releasing Eze: Millwall’s decision to release Eze as a teenager has left the club with a sense of regret. They could have potentially benefited from his success if they had held onto him.
