Galatasaray Transfer Developments: Match Where Wilfried Zaha Was Not In The Squad
Galatasaray encountered an important development in the first match of the new season of the Super League. Before the match against Hatayspor, a remarkable situation occurred in the red-yellow team: star player Wilfried Zaha was not included in the squad due to transfer negotiations.
After the Super Cup loss against Beşiktaş, there was talk that some players at Galatasaray might part ways. In this context, it was suggested that Zaha was expected to leave the team. The player of Ivory Coast origin had been on the radar of Premier League teams for a long time and his failure to perform as expected at Galatasaray had brought up the possibility of a return to England.
Zaha was not included in the squad for the Hatayspor match due to transfer talks reaching their final stages. The British media is reporting that the experienced player will be transferred to his former team Crystal Palace and that this will be done on a loan deal.
Wilfried Zaha scored 10 goals and made 5 assists in 43 matches for Galatasaray. However, it was stated that he could not fully adapt to the system of manager Okan Buruk and therefore it was possible that he would leave the team. A dialogue between the two, which last took place in the Super Cup match, was also on the agenda; Okan Buruk stated that Zaha had incorrectly conveyed the tactic to his teammates after entering the game.
While these developments created curiosity and excitement among Galatasaray fans, all eyes turned to Crystal Palace to obtain definitive information about Zaha’s future.
