According to Fabrizio Romano and Mick Brown of Football Insider, Crystal Palace rejected a loan with an obligation to buy from Juventus as the deal was not suitable for them. Aston Villa are now exploring if a deal can be completed for Jean-Philippe Mateta. It is reported that Palace will make every effort to try to keep the player and will attempt to persuade him to stay until the summer. The club will then reassess the situation and would be open to a move at that time. It is considered increasingly likely that Mateta will leave Palace.

Jean-Philippe Mateta has formally submitted a transfer request to Crystal Palace. Fabrizio Romano stated on his YouTube channel in Italian that Mateta presented an official document to request a transfer. Aston Villa is attentive to the situation.

According to Fanatik, Jean-Philippe Mateta stated his desire to leave Crystal Palace during this transfer window in his latest meeting with club officials and requested that incoming offers be considered. Aston Villa is one of the main clubs pursuing the player. The report from Fanatik adds that currently, only Fenerbahce and Aston Villa remain as the clubs trying to sign Mateta.

Aston Villa remains interested in Jean-Philippe Mateta. Unai Emery’s side has been working on a deal for Tammy Abraham from Besiktas for several days, but with negotiations stalling over the transfer fee, Villa has turned its attention toward Mateta. The French player is viewed as an ideal alternative if the Abraham deal fails.

Jean-Philippe Mateta has agreed personal terms with Aston Villa. Aston Villa has held talks with both the player and Crystal Palace. Crystal Palace is demanding between €35 million and €40m for Mateta. Mateta has rejected a new contract offer from Crystal Palace that was worth £80,000 per week and would have run until 2030. His current contract expires in 2027. A loan bid from Juventus for Mateta was rejected, and Juventus has since moved on to different targets. Mateta has informed Crystal Palace of his desire to leave before the January transfer window closes. This month, discussions have been held with several European clubs, which include Juventus, Aston Villa, and Chelsea. He is determined to join a club playing in the Champions League or one that is expected to qualify for it this season. He believes this will provide the best chance of being selected for France's World Cup squad. He admitted in October that this is his sole focus. Mateta feels that remaining at Crystal Palace would jeopardize his World Cup aspirations because of the club's declining form and the loss of captain Marc Guehi.

Due to financial rules, it is likely that the transaction would involve two separate transfers.
