Zaha’s contract at Selhurst Park expired in June, but despite having a four-year offer worth £10 million-per-season to continue with the Eagles, he is currently weighing up his options amid the emergence of interest from multiple countries.
The Serie A champions in Naples and Ligue 1 winners in Paris are believed to be the two latest clubs to join the race for his signature, while he has already received proposals from Lazio, Fenerbahce, and Al Nassr.
Zaha contributed to nine goals in 27 Premier League matches last season, and will make the decision regarding his next club after returning from his honeymoon next week.
