"The No.9 position has been a hot topic for Milan this season, mainly due to Santiago Gimenez and Christopher Nkunku not living up to expectations. At the very least, the Frenchman has been picking up some steam lately, while the addition of Niclas Füllkrug has helped too. Nevertheless, the Rossoneri have been linked with quite a few strikers as the situation remains uncertain for the future. Jean-Philippe Mateta is one of them, especially since it has been reported that he would like a move to Italy."
"Late last night, Footmercato and their journalist Santi Aouna added that Milan had submitted an offer for the French striker. However, this was immediately rejected by Crystal Palace, presumably because the terms weren't good enough. Mateta, on the other hand, had already reached an agreement on a contract with Milan. Whether the Rossoneri will make another attempt remains to be seen, but the feeling is that they didn't submit the best offer in the world."
AC Milan have concerns over the No.9 role after Santiago Gimenez and Christopher Nkunku underperformed, and the club has explored multiple striker options. Jean-Philippe Mateta has emerged as a target, reportedly wanting a move to Italy and having reached personal agreement with Milan. Crystal Palace rejected an official offer from Milan, likely due to insufficient terms. Milan may decide whether to pursue Mateta again, but recent form from Christopher Nkunku and Niclas Füllkrug could allow the club to postpone a January signing rather than overpay for a striker now.
