The Burning Question: Does Every England Cap for Eze Mean Cash for QPR? ⚽️
Ah, Eberechi Eze. The silky winger with skills that could melt glaciers (and possibly the hearts of Premier League defenders). But there's another group keeping a keen eye on his England appearances: Queens Park Rangers, his old stomping ground. Let's dive into the world of transfer clauses and see if Eze's international success translates to financial windfalls for the Hoops.
Sell-on Clause: The Golden Ticket (with a Twist)
When QPR sold Eze to Crystal Palace in 2020, they included a magic trick in the deal – a 20% sell-on clause. This means if Palace ever sells Eze for a profit, QPR gets a sweet 20% slice of that pie. But here's the twist: this clause only applies to transfers, not international appearances.
So, if Eze lights up Wembley and leads England to World Cup glory (we can dream, right?), QPR won't get a penny directly from his England exploits. However, a stellar international career could see Eze's transfer value soar. Imagine him dribbling past Lionel Messi like a Sunday morning stroll – that kind of performance would have clubs lining up with eye-watering bids for Palace. And that, my friends, is where the sell-on clause kicks in.
Basically, the more Eze shines for England, the more likely a massive transfer becomes, and the bigger the payday for QPR.
The Rumor Mill: Is a Big Move Brewing?
Whispers abound about Eze attracting interest from top clubs. With his dazzling footwork and knack for creating chances, it's no surprise. If a transfer materializes, and the fee is significantly higher than the £16 million Palace paid, QPR would be counting their lucky stars (and lining up some celebratory scones, perhaps?).
So, while there's no direct bonus for England caps, Eze's international success could be the golden key unlocking a hefty sell-on windfall for QPR.
