Barcelona will have to wait for Zaha

Wilfred Zaha is one of the most talked-about players in this transfer window. The Ivorian striker's contract with Crystal Palace ends in June 2023, and his future could go any way.

A lot of big clubs, like FC Barcelona for example, have tried to get him on board in this January transfer window at an affordable price. However, Selhurst Park's doors have closed, preventing that from happening.

Crystal Palace manager Patrick Vieira did not hesitate and made it clear that the English side want Zaha to stay at the club until, at least, the end of the current campaign.

"We're aware of the situation, and we want to keep him. He's a very important player for the club, and very loved here. We'll have to wait and see what he decides. What's important is for him to continue performing in every game", the French ex-footballer said in a press conference.

Therefore, everything seems to indicate that the African will continue at the Premier League club and, from the 1st July, he will be free to go and join any club he wants.

As well as Barcelona, Juventus, PSG, Roma, Tottenham and Arsenal, among others are keeping their eye on him, ahead of the big battle there will be in the coming months to see who manages to get Zaha on board.
