Liverpool, Manchester United and Arsenal all look at the summer window with different motivates – but they will not be blind to the bargains offered.
The Reds can go on the market very well with the TAG of Premier League champions. In the meantime, Arsenal knows that they need more firepower if they want to become the top of England, with Mikel Arteta under pressure to land a big name in the summer.
For those at Old Trafford it is a huge rebuilding and Ruben Amorim can be afraid of the lack of money available to him. United can try to upgrade in almost every part of the field and striking fast deals, the avoidance of summer-long sagas, is helped by release clauses.
Different players, some at the top, others known for sales can be signed as soon as an offer has been made that the clauses meets their contracts.
With transfer costs that are still on the rise and club record offers that are punished annually, finding value can be a huge differenceer and a number of players match those criteria. We look at the big names that represent great value this summer.
Harry Kane
A return to the Premier League to break the record of Alan Shearer, has long been on the agenda of Kane, even if he left for Bayern Munich as he wanted to end his trophy-dry.
The 31-year-old remains at the height of his powers and scored 44 times in his debut season in Germany, and every club could have caused a release clause in the now closed transfer window in January. It would have enabled him to leave the Allianz Arena for around € 80 million (£ 67 million) – it has been in mind that he was signed for around £ 86 million 18 months ago.
Although that deadline has now passed another release clause, will be valid in 12 months -at an even more lowered rate with BILD reporting, it will be as low as € 65 million (£ 54 million).
This summer the Bavarians could consider that reimbursement – but under its real market value – this summer. However, every deal still looks unlikely, both players and club seem more than happy with their current scheme.
Matheus Cunha
The Wolves star has committed itself to the Molineux outfit -but has also bought a way out. The Brazilian has been central to all their good work this term and he has to stay on top shape if they want to send themselves away from the relegation zone.
Cunha is their top scorer this period with 12 in the competition and has devised big goals to help Wolves get some much needed victories. He wrote a new long-term agreement in the last days of the January window, but it also included a release clause of £ 62 million in the summer, which seems to be excellent value for a player of his quality.
Liverpool -Baas Arne Slot confessed that Cunha was more than able to play for a Top Five team in England -just to see the Wolves man score on Anfield on Sunday. There was enormous interest last month and that is probably the case again in the summer.
Ebereechi
The expired clause of the Crystal Palace Forward worth £ 68 million will re -activate in the summer – making it an attractive prospect for a top. The Eagles have been smart when it comes to spotting talent and recently brought a huge win when they sold Michael Olise to Bayern.
They will want to keep as many top players as possible, but a release clause takes it somewhat out of their hands. Eze has made a seamless transition to the Premier League that occurred from the championship a few years ago and is a leading light in Selhurst Park.
In the summer, Manchester City was strongly connected to Eze and it is still to be seen whether they will return this summer with some important names that may leave Etihad.
With Marc Guehi, Palace proved that they are willing to control a hard bargain and therefore the chance to skip the long process of agreeing compensation is a tempting one.
Dean Huijsen
The Bournemouth star has attracted a number of admiring looks and can be purchased for £ 50 million this summer due to a release clause that becomes active in the next transfer window. The 19-year-old already has a CV with Malaga, Juventus, Roma and now the cherry.
Bournemouth signed him last summer on a permanent deal from Juventus for a first £ 12.8 million, which could rise to £ 15.3 million with add-ons. It means that they can make a huge profit with their impressive season that places some of their players in the shop window.
United belongs to that for storing the long defender and the cherries may have to accept the defeat if there is an offer for Huijsen with their focus perhaps better served on keeping those who have no release clauses.
Victor Osimhen
The time of the Nigerian in Napoli almost appears with Antonio Conte, apparently not in the mood for him. Romelu Lukaku has been signed and spears their attack, which forces Osimhen on loan to Galatasaray for the season.
One thing he does guarantee is goals – during his time in Italy he scored 76 times for several years – and his form has held the European elite alert prior to a summer when the release clause of the 26 -year -old in Naples drops from £ 100, up to £ 65 million.
That kind of reimbursement represents good value for a player who has continued to find the back of the net – this season in Turkey he scored 19 times in 24 games. Chelsea led the race in the last term, but various Premier League parties want to add frontmen.
Nico Williams
He was one of the stars of Euro 2024 when he helped Spain to claim glory, but the winger has remained loyal to Athletic Bilbao for the time being. He stayed on the San Mames despite a summer of speculation, where Arsenal was strongly connected to his services.
The pace of Williams has been a huge possession for club and country and a number of European top clubs would also benefit. Liverpool can see him as a replacement for Mo Salah, he was allowed to leave, while the Gunners could return with their attacking means being tested this year.
The 22-year-old, who scored in the final against England, could be signed as a club's release clause of € 58 million (£ 48 million) activates that on the modern market is a good price for a player who at least ten Year ahead of him.
