The potential transfer of Jean-Philippe Mateta to Beşiktaş is facing financial difficulties. It is understood that the French striker's club, Crystal Palace, is demanding a transfer fee of 30 million Euros. The 28-year-old's annual salary expectation is also reported to be approximately 10 million Euros, making the deal very difficult for Beşiktaş, which is closely following the player.
Mateta scored 12 goals in 32 Premier League appearances in the 2025/2026 season, and his contract with the London club is valid until June 2027. Several other clubs have recently been linked with the forward, including Manchester United, Juventus, and AC Milan. According to reports from June 2026, Manchester United are preparing an offer of approximately €50 million. In January 2026, Crystal Palace reportedly rejected offers of €33-40 million from Juventus and Nottingham Forest.
