The transfer of Wilfred Zaha to Turkish club Galatasaray is now complete.

Zaha was reportedly given a large weekly salary of £200,000 by Palace in an effort to keep him at the team where he had spent the majority of his career, but he chose to embark on a new adventure in Turkey, according to the BBC.
While Zaha will earn less than what he was offered at Crystal Palace, the club has offered him an eight million a pound year deal to seal his services on a free transfer. Zaha has a net worth of $4 million.
Zaha’s skills attracted interest from a number of clubs during the transfer window, including Lazio in Italy, Al-Nassr of the Saudi League, and Fenerbahce, another rival of Galatasaray. He ultimately decided to go on with the Turkish champions, who will take part in the Champions League in 2023–24.

Definitely the topmost legend of Crystal Palace
Zaha, who twice represented England before deciding to represent the Ivory Coast, displayed his skill by tallying an incredible 90 goals in 458 games for Crystal Palace, a team he had been a part of since he was 12 years old, according to Transfermarkt.
In 2016, the two-time England cap player changed countries to play for Ivory Coast. The 29-year-old claimed there is a significant infrastructural disparity with African countries in an interview with Total Media podcast that there is a huge difference between playing for the two countries.
Zaha was honoured with a mural in a grandiose welcome.
Wilf was introduced to a jubilant throng who welcomed their new star once it was revealed that he was the newest member of the Istanbul club. During the welcome celebration, a mural in South London has been dedicated to Wilfried Zaha.

In addition, as news of his impending signing stirred up fans into a frenzy, the Ivory Coast hero was seen autographing club shirts on a table. Zaha, a crucial member of the Eagles since rejoining the team after a trying time at Manchester, showed there with his family and friends to take in the beautiful occasion.

Galatasaray will be hoping to get service from that Zaha to assist them in advancing beyond the Champions League qualification rounds and into the main competition for this season.
