Wilfried Zaha set to become a free agent with his contract offer from Palace due to expire TOMORROW

Wilfried Zaha will officially become a free agent with his historic Crystal Palace contract offer due to expire on Friday night.

The Ivory Coast international remains undecided on his future and is weighing up his realistic options ahead of next season.

One of those possibilities remains staying with Palace, a club he has become an icon.

The Eagles have offered Zaha a new long-term contract, understood to be worth £200,000-per-week.

However, that deal officially expires at midnight on Friday. As it stands, Zaha is yet to accept the new deal at Palace and there is unlikely to be a positive resolution before the official deadline.

But Zaha and Palace remain in regular dialogue despite the likelihood of the contract staying unsigned beyond the June 30 cut-off.

Palace are desperate for Zaha, who gets married later this summer, to stay and may give him every opportunity to commit his future to the club beyond the deadline.

The contract offer to Zaha is the most lucrative deal they have ever offered a player.

Palace re-signing Zaha as a free agent, in a move that would see him stay at Selhurst Park as a ‘new signing’, is another potential scenario.

Zaha has fully recovered from the hamstring strain that ruled him out of the end of last season, and has been receiving treatment with Palace.

The 30-year-old picked up muscular injuries that caused him to miss crucial matches towards the end of last season.

Those injuries are likely to have been taken into account by interested clubs given the statistical approach European sides take to recruitment.

One of the factors that will play role in Zaha deciding his future will be his desire to play Champions League football.

Zaha is keen to join a club that can immediately offer him an opportunity to play in the competition or one that can realistically challenge to qualify.

To that end, Lazio – who will play in next season’s Champions League – have a concrete interest in Zaha.

However, it is understood that the Italian side would not match the money on offer at Crystal Palace.

Fenerbache have also registered their interest in the 30-year-old and have qualified for the Europa Conference League next season.

The idea of living and playing in Istanbul, well-known as a hotbed of football, is likely to appeal to Zaha – but the lack of Champions League involvement could be a factor.

But Fenerbahce’s standing in Turkish football will provide Zaha with the possibility of playing Champions League football in the future.

Zaha has also attracted major interest from Saudi Arabia, where he knows he can earn significantly more than the £200,000-per-week on offer at Selhurst Park.

Similarly, the prospect of being involved in one of the most exciting football projects in the world, plus the prospect of joining some of the planet’s most high profile stars in Saudi will appeal to Zaha.
