The Eagles are prepared to part ways with their FA Cup hero but want more than just cash in return from Arsenal.
Sources suggest Palace are not interested in a swap deal but could pursue a separate signing from the Gunners’ surplus options.
Arsenal have activated Eze’s £60m release clause, payable in three instalments, though the final fee could rise to £68m with add-ons.
Palace are aware of Arsenal’s summer squad overhaul, which could make certain fringe players available for the right price or terms.
The Gunners have already completed deals for Kepa Arrizabalaga and are closing in on Christian Norgaard and Martin Zubimendi.
With Eze pushing for an Emirates move, Palace are using talks to explore potential reinforcements from Arsenal’s stacked squad.
This strategic play could bring another ex-Gunner to Selhurst Park, following past signings like Eddie Nketiah and Rob Holding, reports Give Me Sport.
The clubs enjoy a strong relationship, making negotiations smoother and boosting Palace’s hopes of securing a valuable addition.
With European football ahead, Palace aim to strengthen smartly and offset the likely loss of their playmaking talisman.
