A fresh insight into the plans of free agent attacker Wilfried Zaha has been provided on Friday afternoon.
The future of wide-man Zaha, of course, has long been up in the air.
This comes after the Ivorian international failed to come to an agreement on the terms of a new contract with long-time club Crystal Palace.
Zaha is understood to have been keen to seek out a move to one of European football’s heavyweight clubs, before entering the twilight years of his career.
To this point, however, such interest has simply not been forthcoming.
The 30-year-old has received a quartet of contract proposals, but these have come by way of Lazio, Fenerbahce, Al-Nassr, and the aforementioned Palace.
As per a report from the reliable Nizaar Kinsella of the Evening Standard, among others:
‘The lack of offers from ‘Big Six’ or truly elite Champions League clubs has left Palace confident about retaining their star winger.’
The Eagles’ current proposal of £200,000-per-week is 2nd only to that of Saudi giants Al-Nassr, but with Zaha reluctant to uproot his young family for the Middle East, a return to south London could well be on the cards with a view to next season.
