Wilfried Zaha has been offered a mouth-watering deal to join Saudi Arabian club, Al Nassr amid skepticism over his chance at Crystal Palace.
According to reports, the Saudi Pro League club wants to sign Zaha on a three-year contract reportedly worth 45 million pounds which will see him earn £15m per year.
Wilfried Zaha’s current contract with Crystal Palace will expire at the end of June and he has a new offer on the table from the London club worth nearly £200,000 a week, including bonuses.
Wilfried Zaha has been strongly linked with a move away from the Premier League club with several top European clubs looking forward to acquiring the Ivory Coast International.
Spanish club, Athletico Madrid have expressed interest in the 30-year-old, who can leave Selhurst Park for free this summer.
Wilfried Zaha is required to deliberate carefully and has not yet decided whether or not to remain at his current club.
Another club in Saudi Arabia, Al-Ittihad, the current Saudi Arabia Pro League champions have offered Zaha a contract worth 9 million pounds (after taxes).
According to reports, Zaha is not interested in the offer at this point in his career.

Atletico Madrid, who have qualified for next season’s Champions League, would be the favorites to sign him if he wants to depart Crystal Palace.
