Barcelona and Juventus are reportedly exploring the possibility of a stunning move for Crystal Palace legend Wilfried Zaha.
The Ivory Coast international is yet to sign a new contract with the Eagles, and with his current deal set to expire in June, he would be free to speak with foreign clubs at the start of the year.
Liverpool, Chelsea, and Tottenham Hotspur are among the Premier League teams said to be interested in signing the attacker on a free transfer ahead of the 2023-24 season.
Barcelona And Juventus Interested In Wilfried Zaha?
The Evening Standard reports that there is genuine interest from Barcelona and Juventus, with Palace now likely to lose their top player at the end of the season.
According to the report, top officials at Camp Nou believe Zaha would be a “good fit” for the club because of his “direct running and smart finishing.”
Meanwhile, Juventus will be aiming to bring in a number of new players next summer, with Zaha seen as the ideal addition towards the conclusion of the season.
If he does leave Palace, the attacker is likely to want to join a Champions League club, and he would be able to negotiate a high wage if he was available on a free transfer.

The forward has now played 441 games with the Eagles in two distinct stints, scoring 88 goals and assisting on 74 others.
Zaha famously joined Manchester United in 2013, but he struggled to make an impact at Old Trafford, appearing only four times in all competitions.
The Palace academy product had his finest scoring season in 2021-22, scoring 14 goals in the Premier League and 15 times overall.
