Jean-Philippe Mateta, a 29-year-old French striker for Crystal Palace, has been proposed to Galatasaray, who are looking to sign a forward. The player has 7 caps and 2 goals for France. It was reported that agent George Gardi offered Mateta to the club. Mateta is said to be experiencing issues regarding the final year of his contract with the Premier League side and has applied to FIFA for its cancellation. The striker's market value is listed as 30 million euros. Several other clubs have been linked with the striker, including Aston Villa, Manchester United, and Atlético Madrid. In July 2026, reports suggested a Crystal Palace valuation of £25m, while earlier in the year their asking price was reportedly between €40m and €47m.
