Wilfried Zaha appears set to depart Olympique Lyonnais (OL) this winter, with head coach Pierre Sage reportedly no longer counting on the Ivorian international.
Discussions are underway with Galatasaray to terminate Zaha’s loan deal, as OL management seeks to recruit a replacement.
The decision stems from concerns over Zaha’s performance and behavior both on and off the field.
Zaha, who has made just five appearances for OL, totaling 111 minutes, is under scrutiny for his inability to adapt to the club’s environment.
Sports consultant Israel Oussou, speaking to 225foot, suggested Zaha should reassess his approach: “Should Zaha go? Yes, because he has never been able to adapt to the club, and the current competition has gotten the better of him.
Where should he go? It’s not a question of the championship; it’s a question of attitude, personality, state of mind.
Zaha, valued at €10 million and earning an annual salary of €5.12 million with Galatasaray, has struggled to make a meaningful impact since joining the French club.
OL is reportedly eager to finalize the separation to facilitate their January transfer plans.
As Lyon prepares for their Ligue 1 clash against Angers, fans await confirmation of Zaha’s next steps, while the club’s management aims to stabilize the squad mid-season.
