Wilfried Zaha could be set for a surprising return to Crystal Palace, as reports suggest that Galatasaray is looking to offload the winger just a year after his move to Turkey. Zaha, who left Palace on a free transfer last summer to join the Turkish giants, is now considered surplus to requirements at Galatasaray.

The club is reportedly offering him to several Premier League teams, but their demand for a £9 million loan fee, intended to balance Financial Fair Play concerns and cover Zaha’s £106,000-a-week wages, has deterred potential suitors. Zaha, who scored 10 goals and provided five assists in 42 games last season, has seen his role diminish under Galatasaray manager Okan Buruk.

A return to Palace would mark Zaha’s third stint with the club, but the hefty loan fee remains a significant obstacle. Meanwhile, Palace is facing increased interest in key players like Marc Guehi and Eberechi Eze, following the departure of Michael Olise to Bayern Munich.
