Al-Ittihad rival Al-Nassr with offer to Crystal Palace star Wilfried Zaha

Crystal Palace star Wilfried Zaha has reportedly been offered a contract worth £9million-a-year to move to Saudi Arabia.

The Daily Mail reports Al-Ittihad have joined league rivals Al-Nassr in the race to sign the Crystal Palace ace.

The move would see him join Cristiano Ronaldo as the next big-name star to arrive in the Middle East.

However, the Eagles are keen to tie him down to a new contract and have offered him the "most lucrative" deal in the club's history in an effort to retain him.

It's claimed The Eagles brass have tabled a deal in the region of £200,000-a-week contract to the winger.

Palace boss Patrick Vieira is hopeful Zaha will ink a new deal with the club, saying: “We know the situation and we want to keep him."
