When Zaha moved to to Galatasaray it was confirmed by the club that he will receive a £2m signing-on fee for joining the Istanbul team. He will also earn a £3.75m net annual wage which breaks down to around £72,000-a-week.
And yet we were told he had been offered £200,000 per week if he stayed at Palace even after Income Tax and NI his net wages would be £106,306 per week £5,527,938 a year in the UK.
I can only assume the Palace offer was taken off the table and moving to Galatasaray was the only face saving option.
My own thoughts are that he will be back in England looking for a club after one season in Turkey ,if not before.

Signing on fee is standard.

It may appear as if he is taking a pay cut but not really I expect he has clauses for large bonuses and other things at play to do with taxes etc.

The other truth is no one else wanted him and this would have been his only chance to play EU football.

It's a far easier league as well which should extend his career.

I don't see him returning unless it's one of the top clubs. (I don't see any of them being interest and If he leaves Turkey maybe go to US or Saudi)

Palace need to move on from him anyway and even if available in future not touch him it would be backwards step for the club also not good for Wilf how people will remember him because hes on the decline now.

You've missed the point.

He didn't get to do that, so for his own sake not worth concentrating on what might have been and instead on what he did achieve.

Just because someone some one is rich doesn't mane you cant feel for them. And just because he achieved, doesn't mean he couldn't have achieved more.

Playing and scoring in a memorable CL game at Old Trafford for Gala will, I imagine, have made the move feel worthwhile even if he achieves nothing else. I heard another player talking about how there is nothing like the feeling of hearing the famous theme tune before kick-off in a CL match. I genuinely think that was his one goal, as he would have got at least three times as much in the Saudi Anal Prolapse League if he'd wanted more money. If he'd stayed with us his career would have gradually tailed off before a handshake and a gold watch on the pitch with Parish.

I loved Wilf and he probably would have been solid for us again if he'd stayed this season, but his influence was perhaps holding us back. Players like Franca, Olise, Eze and JRS are the future and if they can all remain fit it will be an exciting one.

The allure of Champions League football, winning a league title etc are attractive propositions for a new challenge. Fighting for relegation and ending up 12th every season, probably became boring for him. He's done everything he could have for us and being able to play CL football, as well as score against Man U, at Old Trafford, in the Champions League, will be bucket list stuff for him. He is cemented as a Palace and Croydon legend and has nothing more to give us, we too muct move on.

His next move will likely be Saudi or America.
