Wilfried Zaha set for sensational Premier League transfer return after Galatasaray change of heart

Wilfried Zaha could be making a sensational return to the Premier League, with Galatasaray reportedly ready to part ways with the former Crystal Palace star.

The Turkish giants secured the services of the winger last summer, but are now struggling to keep up with his hefty £300,000-a-week wage bill and are open to letting him go for a bargain price. Club officials have informed Crystal Palace and other English clubs that Zaha is up for grabs.

Despite playing a key role in Galatasaray's title-winning season, scoring nine goals and impressing in the Champions League, the club are willing to let Zaha go for a 'nominal fee' due to his high earning status.

A return to the English top flight would require Zaha to take a significant pay cut. One possibility could see Galatasaray paying off the remainder of his contract, allowing him to leave on a free transfer.

Crystal Palace, along with West Ham and Wolves, are said to be interested in bringing Zaha back to England. A free transfer would certainly make the deal more attractive, although it would mean a financial loss for Galatasaray, reports the Mirror.

However, the extent of Crystal Palace's interest is yet to be confirmed, particularly with new boss Oliver Glasner now in charge. With Michael Olise set to join Bayern Munich and Eberechi Eze, currently at the Euros, attracting attention from Manchester United and Arsenal, the Eagles may be looking to bolster their attacking options.

Wilfried Zaha's potential return to Crystal Palace could be the lift that Eagles fans are looking for, given his proven track record in the Premier League. The Ivorian winger's career trajectory took a significant turn after an early move to Manchester didn't pan out as hoped, leading to a period of stagnation.

However, Zaha found redemption back at Selhurst Park, shining brightly as the talisman of the team he originally joined as a youth player. Now 31, Zaha has looked back on those challenging times with a sense of resilience.

"Realistically I think I went through a phase where you either build from it or you die out from it," he reflected. "And me personally, I was never going to die out from it. It built my character. I was determined to not let my career die out because I went somewhere and it didn't work out. I was just determined to reach where I wanted to reach and I am here today."
