Wilfried Zaha has shunned interest from Barcelona and Juventus as he is determined to see out his contract at Crystal Palace.
The 30-year-old is out of contract at the end of the season and there’s been little progress in discussions over an extension.
Patrick Vieira is desperate to keep the Ivory Coast winger but Zaha will wait until the end of the season before making a decision on his long-term future.
Zaha has regularly been linked with a move away from Selhurst Park in recent years, with Arsenal and Chelsea the most notable interested parties in the Premier League.
Barcelona and Juventus are the latest clubs to register an interest in Zaha, with some reports claiming Palace would be willing to cash-in on the forward this month instead of losing him for free in July.
But the Athletic say Zaha wants to stay in south-west London this month and will reject a move away from his boyhood club.
The winger wants to see out his second stint with Palace before taking stock of his future at the end of the campaign.
Zaha came through Palace’s academy and left briefly to join Manchester United, before returning to the club two years later.
Chelsea were keen on signing Zaha last summer but were put off by Palace’s valuation of the winger, which was said to be around £60m.
Arsenal eventually chose Nicolas Pepe over Zaha in 2019 after Palace demanded around £80m for the winger.
