Wilfried Zaha in advanced talks to stay at Charlotte FC

Wilfried Zaha is reportedly in advanced talks with Charlotte FC over extending his stay in Major League Soccer.

The 33-year-old forward is currently on loan from Galatasaray and has quickly become an important figure for the American side since arriving in the United States.

Zaha’s performances have impressed both supporters and club officials, with the Ivorian attacker contributing 12 goals and eight assists in 44 appearances across all competitions.

His impact in the final third has helped establish him as one of Charlotte’s main attacking threats, prompting the club to accelerate efforts to secure his long-term future.

As his current agreement approaches its final stages, reports suggest Zaha is open to remaining in MLS, where he has rediscovered a central role and consistent playing time.

The former Crystal Palace star joined Galatasaray with high expectations but appears to have found renewed stability and influence during his spell in North America.

Charlotte FC are believed to view the experienced winger as a key part of their project moving forward, particularly given his leadership qualities and attacking output.

Zaha’s future has attracted growing interest in recent weeks, but negotiations with Charlotte are understood to be progressing positively as the club seeks to avoid losing one of its standout performers.

Should an agreement be reached, the deal would represent a significant boost for Charlotte FC as they continue building a competitive squad capable of challenging in MLS.
