Juventus meanwhile has suffered a horrendous start to the season in all competitions.
They, like Barcelona, have crashed out of the Champions League, while they also sit seventh in the Serie A standings.
It’s said that Bianconeri bosses see Zaha as a potential foil for their current attacking talents, including the likes of Dusan Vlahovic and Federico Chiesa.
Zaha has been a constant inclusion in football gossip columns over the years, and he had been expected to leave the club on several occasions.
Arguably the closest he came to leaving was in 2019 when Arsenal was strongly linked, and then manager Unai Emery later admitted that he wanted to sign Zaha over Nicolas Pepe – who instead arrived at the Gunners for £72million.
Other clubs including Chelsea and Roma have also been linked with the 29-year-old’s services.
Despite not getting his big move to date, Zaha has remained professional and given his all for Palace.
He’s still playing at a high level and so far this season has scored five goals in 11 Premier League appearances.
Palace is keen to sign Zaha to a new contract, though it could be tough to stop him from seeking a new challenge.
The likes of Barcelona and Juventus will have an advantage over Premier League sides, given they can speak to Zaha about a transfer as soon as January.
