Jean-Philippe Mateta Transfer from Crystal Palace to Milan

Milan has listed Jean-Philippe Mateta as one of their candidates if Christopher Nkunku leaves.

According to Tuttomercato, Milan are exploring if a move for Jean-Philippe Mateta is possible this winter. The Crystal Palace player would reportedly be tempted by an experience in Serie A. At this moment, the English club does not intend to sell him, and only a very high offer could make them consider a sale mid-season.

According to Fabrizio Romano, Jean-Philippe Mateta is a player being actively targeted by AC Milan. It is reported that several Premier League and Serie A clubs are also interested. AC Milan is attentive and could act quickly to avoid a bidding war. There have been no discussions between Mateta and his club regarding a contract extension since last summer. The player is valued at 35 million euros and remains under contract with Crystal Palace until summer 2027.

According to Fabrizio Romano, Jean-Philippe Mateta is seeking a transfer as early as January. AC Milan, who are looking to transfer Gimenez, consider Mateta a serious alternative. A potential transfer will depend on the high demands of Crystal Palace, which does not wish to transfer one of its best players. The Rossoneri remain watchful, hoping that the player's unwillingness to extend his contract will lower his price. Jean-Philippe Mateta's annual salary in England is 2,999,892 euros.

According to journalist Fabrizio Romano, Jean-Philippe Mateta and Crystal Palace have not discussed a contract extension since last summer. AC Milan is among clubs from England and Italy that are considering him for next season.

According to CalcioMercato, Milan is interested in Jean-Philippe Mateta for the upcoming transfer window. The club is considering Mateta to strengthen its attack in January, following inquiries made during the summer. Milan also faces competition from Premier League and Serie A clubs.

According to TEAMtalk, Jean-Philippe Mateta is open to leaving Crystal Palace, and Milan is one of the clubs interested in reinforcing its attack. In the summer, the English club rejected an offer of approximately 35 million euros for the French player. Crystal Palace is looking to receive a significant sum from the transfer.

According to TEAMtalk sources, AC Milan are planning a transfer for Jean-Philippe Mateta, and he is interested in making the move. His Crystal Palace contract is entering its final 18 months, and stalled wage negotiations have generated interest. Sources indicate that he favours a move to Italy’s Serie A. A TEAMtalk source confirms that he is open to leaving as his contract talks are uncertain. TEAMtalk sources add that Mateta has ambitions to represent a Serie A club before the end of his career. A mid-season departure could happen if bids are in the £35-40 million range. TEAMtalk sources have confirmed AC Milan have serious interest, viewing Mateta as a traditional No. 9 for Massimiliano Allegri’s attack. Last July, Mateta instructed his agents to facilitate the move to San Siro, but Palace’s £50 million valuation reduced interest. According to TEAMtalk, Palace will not block the move but expect negotiations over the price.

Tuttomercato reports on the potential transfer of Jean-Philippe Mateta from Crystal Palace to Milan. Jean-Philippe Mateta, following his participation in the recent Olympic Games with the French national team, is ambitious to join the senior national team for the upcoming 2026 World Cup. To achieve this, he is convinced of the need to leave Crystal Palace. Milan has reportedly initiated negotiations to sign Mateta, but the high price demanded by the English club, reportedly over 30 million euros, has cooled the interest.

Jean-Philippe Mateta is currently under contract with Crystal Palace until June 2027. Following a successful season in the Premier League and winning the FA Cup, he is looking to advance his career by moving to Serie A. Mateta is reportedly willing to put pressure on Crystal Palace management to facilitate the transfer to AC Milan, where he is considered a priority target to support or compete with Santiago Gimenez. The information is reported by journalist Sacha Tavolieri.

Team Talk reports on AC Milan's interest in signing Jean-Philippe Mateta amid competition from Manchester United and Juventus. AC Milan is keen on signing Jean-Philippe Mateta, who is also a target for Manchester United and Juventus. Mateta has been looked at by Man Utd, and if he doesn’t sign an extension, he could be available for a ‘bargain’ fee.

AC Milan are contemplating a move for Jean-Philippe Mateta as they aim to revamp their offensive line this summer. Milan are striving to secure a European spot in the Coppa Italia final and their remaining Serie A matches. It is believed that Mateta’s profile is well-suited for Serie A, and he is reportedly open to embracing a new challenge next season, with aspirations to compete in European competitions. According to TEAMtalk, Milan, along with Inter, have gathered significant information about Mateta and his availability, with Crystal Palace apparently ready to sell the in-form striker for approximately €35m (£29.4m), albeit reluctantly. Mateta’s outstanding performance this season, with 14 goals in 35 Premier League games, has piqued the interest of several top clubs across Europe.
