Crystal Palace forward Wilfried Zaha has received a staggering £44m offer from Chinese club Dalian Yifang to play for them, according to a report on the Daily Mail.
The club is offering Zaha a yearly wage of £11m on a four-year deal, which would give Zaha a total amount of £44m and would make him one of the world’s best-paid footballers.
Palace are unlikely to agree to any sort of deal with the Chinese club and would rather keep hold of the Ivory Coast international, who has proved his worth for the club with some crucial goals in recent seasons.
The 26-year-old’s current deal with the Eagles expires in 2023 but he is still being tracked by a number of top clubs around the world.
He is reported to be earning about £130,000 a week with Palace, meaning that the proposed package by Dalian Yifang will almost triple his earnings.
With a big second half of the season coming up, Palace boss Roy Hodgson will not want to lose Zaha at any price.
