Crystal Palace Considering Sale of Jean-Philippe Mateta
Contract Negotiations Stalled
Crystal Palace is reportedly looking to offload Jean-Philippe Mateta as discussions regarding a new contract with the forward have hit a standstill. The South London team has been engaging in negotiations with the 27-year-old striker since the previous season, but little advancement has been made in sealing a new agreement.
Current Contract Situation
Mateta is under contract with Crystal Palace until the summer of 2027. The club is keen on avoiding a scenario similar to what they faced with Marc Guehi, where they might miss out on an opportunity to secure a financial return. The club’s hierarchy, led by manager Oliver Glasner, is receptive to offers for Mateta during the upcoming January transfer window, which is anticipated to yield the most favorable financial outcome.
Interest from Abroad
Reports indicate that Serie A’s AC Milan is closely monitoring Mateta’s status as they look to enhance their attacking lineup.
