30-year-old winger faces uncertainty despite lucrative new offer from the Eagles

Wilfried Zaha is set to become a free agent on Friday evening if he does not sign his new £200,000-a-week contract offer from Crystal Palace. Despite the lucrative terms, which would make him the highest-paid player in the club’s history, the future of the 30-year-old winger remains uncertain.

Zaha has not ruled out staying at Palace on a long-term deal, but he is also attracting interest from several top European clubs. Lazio, who have qualified for the Champions League, are the latest to show interest in the Ivory Coast international. Zaha has also been linked with AC Milan and Atletico Madrid, though it is unclear whether either club will make a formal offer.

While the Premier League’s biggest clubs have shown past interest in Zaha, including Arsenal and Chelsea, they have so far been reluctant to make a move for the winger.

Al-Nassr, a Saudi Arabian club, has submitted a formal, lucrative offer for Zaha, but the player appears hesitant about moving to the Middle East. Turkish giants Fenerbahce have also been credited with an interest, though Zaha’s decision to sign a new deal with Crystal Palace would provide a significant boost for the club heading into the new season.
