"With Jean-Philippe Mateta having already told Crystal Palace that he wants to leave and the club listening to offers for the France forward, this feels like a move waiting to happen. The 28-year-old only has 18 months left on his present deal despite signing a contract extension with the Eagles just over 12 months ago. Italian giants Juventus and Premier League Aston Villa are believed to be leading the chase for Mateta, who Palace value at around 40m."
"Palace fans have seen their team collect just two Premier League points since 7 December, suffer the greatest shock defeat in FA Cup history, in terms of league placings, and watch captain Marc Guehi complete a switch to Manchester City. On top of that, manager Oliver Glasner has already announced he will be off this summer and subsequently launched an attack on the club's hierarchy."
The January transfer window runs from 1 January to 2 February at 19:00 GMT. Crystal Palace forward Jean-Philippe Mateta has informed the club he wants to leave and Palace are listening to offers. The 28-year-old has roughly 18 months remaining on his contract despite signing an extension about a year ago. Juventus and Aston Villa are reported to be leading the chase and Palace value Mateta at around 40m. Palace have collected just two Premier League points since 7 December, suffered a major FA Cup upset, sold captain Marc Guehi to Manchester City, and face managerial turmoil after Oliver Glasner announced his summer departure and criticised the club hierarchy. Continued poor form could drag the club into a relegation battle despite Europa Conference League involvement.
