A surprising suitor has emerged for Wilfried Zaha, who has failed to meet expectations both at Galatasaray and during his loan at Lyon. MLS team Charlotte FC has made a loan offer to the yellow-reds, which includes a purchase option of 3.5 million euros and will cover the experienced player's entire salary. It has been reported that the parties are close to reaching an agreement.
While the termination of the loan contract of Wilfried Zaha, who has fallen short of expectations at the French team Lyon from Galatasaray, is expected, a development that pleased the yellow-reds has occurred.
THEY HAVE AGREED WITH ZAHA, HE IS GOING TO THE USA
It seems that the Ivorian star, who is not part of the plans of Cimbom's head coach Okan Buruk and is being considered for departure due to his high salary, is on his way out. According to the news from Yağız Sabuncuoğlu, MLS team Charlotte FC has reached an agreement with Wilfried Zaha.
THEY WILL LOAN HIM AND COVER HIS ENTIRE SALARY
The report stated that the MLS team made a loan offer to Galatasaray with a purchase option. The deadline for the purchase option, which is 3.5 million euros, will be December 2025. Charlotte FC has made an offer to cover the entire salary of Zaha, which is a significant burden for the yellow-reds.
CIMBOM ALSO WANTS A LOAN FEE
On the other hand, it was reported that Galatasaray is also asking for a loan fee in addition to this offer and that the agreement is close. Additionally, Lyon will terminate the contract of the 32-year-old player if an agreement is reached with the MLS team. Zaha, who has only played 6 matches with the French team this season, contributed with 1 assist. The Ivorian star, whose current market value is shown as 8 million euros, has a contract with the yellow-reds that will expire in 2026.
