Crystal Palace will sell Jean-Philippe Mateta if contract talks remain stalled
Crystal Palace striker Jean-Philippe Mateta has been linked with a move away from the South London club in recent weeks.
AC Milan are interested in signing Jean-Philippe Mateta, and Crystal Palace would be prepared to sanction his departure if they cannot agree on a new deal with him. Contract talks are currently stalled between the two parties, according to The Sun, and it will be interesting to see if Crystal Palace can reach a breakthrough.
The 28-year-old has been linked with a move away from the London club in recent months. He has been linked with multiple clubs. It will be interesting to see where he ends up. The player has shown his quality in the Premier League, and he could be open to trying out a new challenge now. The move to Italy could be ideal for him. AC Milan are one of the biggest clubs in the world, and the opportunity to join them will be hard to turn down.
They will be able to provide him with the platform to compete at a high level and push for trophies. He has already won a couple of domestic trophies with Crystal Palace, and they are unlikely to be able to challenge for the league title anytime soon. It could be ideal for the French attacker to move on right now.
Can AC Milan sign Mateta?
It remains to be seen whether AC Milan can secure an agreement with the London club to get the deal done. They are unlikely to be able to be a premium, and they will hope to sign the player for a reasonable amount of money. He is at the peak of his career, and he could make an immediate impact in Italy. He has the physicality and technical attributes for Italian football, and he could be an important player for Milan.
This could be the final opportunity for him to join an elite club. Milan are one of the biggest clubs in the world, and the opportunity to play for them will be hard to turn down for the player. He will certainly hope that the two clubs can agree on a deal in the coming months. It seems unlikely that he will sign a new contract with Crystal Palace.
