Crystal Palace has abandoned its pursuit of Wilfried Zaha due to complex tax implications according to The Standard.

The Premier League club had expressed interest in bringing the former Palace star back to Selhurst Park, but the financial hurdles associated with the move proved to be insurmountable.

Zaha, who currently plays for Galatasaray, would face significant tax burdens if he were to return to the Premier League. The complexities of international tax laws make such a move impractical for the 31-year-old.

While Palace remains interested in Zaha, the club has decided to focus on other transfer targets. With the transfer window closing soon, the Eagles are exploring alternative options to strengthen their squad.

The decision to abandon the pursuit of Zaha is a blow for Palace fans, who would have welcomed the return of the club legend. However, the financial obstacles presented by the move made it impossible for the club to proceed.

Zaha will now have to wait until the next transfer window to explore other potential destinations. His future remains uncertain, and it remains to be seen if he will be able to secure a move away from Galatasaray.
