Wilfried Zaha considers next move as Botafogo talks stall over pay

Wilfried Zaha remains without a club after ending his spell in Major League Soccer and completing his departure from Galatasaray, with several options being assessed for the next stage of his career.

The 33-year-old Cote d’Ivoire international is looking for an ambitious project and wants a package that reflects both his sporting experience and financial expectations.

Brazilian side Botafogo have made enquiries about Zaha’s situation, but discussions have broken down over salary. According to 225foot, the forward is seeking about 4 million euros a year, which is more than Botafogo were prepared to offer.

Zaha, who previously played for Crystal Palace, is understood to have ruled out that possibility as a result.

A move to Malaga has also been mentioned, although the Spanish club have not yet made a concrete offer. Al Riyadh, from Saudi Arabia, are monitoring the situation and could provide another option for the player.

According to exclusive information from Africafoot, Zaha is also being considered by Young Boys of Bern.

Despite the uncertainty surrounding his future, Zaha retains a strong profile in the transfer market. His market value is estimated at 3.5 million euros, while his recent record with Charlotte FC includes 13 goals and eight assists in 48 appearances.

The Ivorian is now a free agent and is taking time to decide on his next destination rather than committing to the first available proposal. His priority is to join a club capable of matching his ambitions, both on the pitch and in financial terms.
