Wilfried Zaha's desire to win major honours during his career prompted his decision to hire super-agent Pini Zahavi.
Tuesday 7 January 2020 11:27, UK
Wilfried Zaha's representatives have held preliminary talks with Bayern Munich following his decision to hire super-agent Pini Zahavi, but at this stage it seems unlikely Bayern will sign him.
The agreement to team up with the renowned Israeli negotiator and part with his long-time agent Will Salthouse is seen as a clear indication that the Ivory Coast international still wants away from Selhurst Park at the earliest opportunity.
The talks with the Bundesliga champions come just 72 hours after the switch.
While a transfer in January is not out of the question, it is thought a move in the summer is more likely.
Zaha knows his future may lie outside the Premier League, with only a handful of clubs across Europe having the funds to consider such a deal.
Last summer Palace turned down a bid, believed to be around £70m from Everton, with chairman Steve Parish holding out for around £80m, prompting Zaha to put in a transfer request to the club.
Arsenal also saw a £40m bid rejected from Palace for the 27-year-old during the previous transfer window, while there was also interest from Napoli.
More recently, long-time admirers Chelsea have reportedly rekindled their interest in the winger with the lifting of their transfer ban, and Zahavi known to be a good friend of the Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich.
