WILFRIED ZAHA has received a whopping £9million-a-year offer to move to the Saudi Pro League, it's been claimed.
The Crystal Palace and Ivory Coast international is currently mulling over his future as his contract at Selhurst Park expires in the summer.
And Saudi big boys Al-Ittihad are hoping to lure the 30-year-old to the Kingdom with an outrageous pay packet.
That's according to The Daily Mail, who claim Al-Ittihad have joined league rivals Al-Nassr – who recently signed Cristiano Ronaldo – in the race to land the former Manchester United ace.
Palace, however, are eager to keep Zaha in South London and have offered him the "most lucrative" deal in the club's history to retain his services.
It's claimed The Eagles brass have tabled a deal in the region of £200,000-a-week contract to the winger.
