Zaha, 30, has until the end of June to decide whether or not he wants to move on from the South London side before he becomes a free agent.

The Eagles have offered the key attacker an eye-watering £200k-per-week contract in an effort to keep him at Selhurst Park.

The contract offer would make him the highest-paid player in the club’s history.

However as his deal approaches its end, clubs are starting to circle as the Daily Mail have claimed that Atletico Madrid have enquired about a swoop for him.

The report suggests that manager Diego Simeone is a “long-term admirer” of the player and tried to sign him in 2020.

The outlet has also claimed that the Ivory Coast international also has interest from the Middle East and offers from Saudi Arabia.

Al-Ittihad are reported to have offered Zaha a contract with £9million after tax to join the club next season.

Zaha will have to make his decision soon so he can prepare for pre-season and be in the best possible condition for his new club or Palace.

However, the draw of one of the top clubs in LaLiga could tempt the attacker as it would give him the chance to play Champions League football next season.

Atletico qualified for the tournament after achieving a 3rd-placed finish in the table.

Zaha has never played in a European competition in his career before.

As he is free to discuss moves away from Selhurst Park, it could be a factor that sways his decision.
