According to reports, Atletico Madrid are in the running to sign Crystal Palace star, Wilfried Zaha, as his contract at Selhurst Park comes to an end.
The Crystal Palace star has become a club legend over recent seasons, scoring 90 goals in 450 appearances and has been pivotal in keeping the club in the Premier League.
However, the 2022-23 campaign was a difficult time for the Ivory Coast international, as missed large parts of the season through injury.
Despite these injury concerns, the 30-year-old still managed to record 10 goal contributions in 28 matches, across all competitions, and has reportedly attracted interest from a variety of sides.
One club that are said to be keen on the Eagles winger, is Diego Simeone’s Atletico Madrid, who are looking to bolster their squad over the coming months.

Simeone’s side finished third in La Liga, with title-winners, Barcelona, ending the season 11 points ahead of Atletico Madrid.
The return of Joao Felix could be a huge boost for the Spanish giant, as the Portuguese international returns from a disappointing loan spell in England.
Interest in Zaha may come as a surprise to Atletico supporters, as the Palace star missed the final matches of the season through injury and his return date is still yet to be confirmed.
However, the former Manchester United player is out of contract this summer and would be eligible to join Atletico on a free transfer.
The Spanish side will need to be swift with negotiations, as the Ivorian international has attracted interest from Premier League clubs, with Arsenal and Spurs both keen on the Crystal Palace talisman.
