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.
