Fabrizio Romano has given an update on Wilfried Zaha's future following Chelsea's interest.
The 30-year-old is currently linked with a move from Selhurst Park Stadium on a free transfer, as Fabrizio Romano wrote in his CaughtOffside column.
After a successful seven-year spell at Palace, the Ivory Coast international is in the final year of his contract and will find his way out of club for new challenges.
Graham Potter's side has been reported to hold a strong interest in Zaha and without any doubt, the Blues will use the advantage of getting the forward's signature for free in the summer.
“Crystal Palace will try until the end to keep Wilfried Zaha, but yes, I’m told a free transfer is now a serious possibility and the most likely solution. He’d move for an important club, but I think before January nothing will be resolved,” Romano explained.
“I’ve revealed before that Roma showed an interest in him last summer, but we’ll see about 2023. For sure, playing regularly will be a priority for him and his decision.” stated the football insider.
