Jean-Philippe Mateta

Recent reports from August 2026 suggest Crystal Palace expects offers exceeding €23 million and values the player at around £25 million (~€29 million), having rejected an initial bid from Aston Villa in that range. This is a decrease from earlier in 2026, when the asking price was consistently reported between €40 million and €46 million, with a reported €40 million offer from Nottingham Forest being rejected. In 2025, valuations were even higher, with reports of a rejected €35 million bid from Atalanta and asking prices reaching as high as €50-€60 million. His last completed transfer was from Mainz to Crystal Palace in January 2022 for €11 million.

Our valuation for Jean-Philippe Mateta is primarily driven by his expiring contract situation. Recent August 2026 reports of a rejected €23 million bid and a Crystal Palace asking price around €29 million establish a clear current market range. This is significantly lower than the €40-€50 million figures quoted in previous windows, a drop directly attributable to his contract entering its final year.
