"Despite suggestions that he could head elsewhere, it seems Jean-Philippe Mateta could end up at AC Milan. After all, the pair have been drawn to each other in the past 12 months. Before the summer mercato, the idea of Mateta was rising. A potential superstar for Massimiliano Allegri to take under his wing and make into his own striker. On paper, a fantastic alternative to the Dusan Vlahovic idea. After all, the Italian has requested a lethal box-striker with a physical profile, which Mateta brings."
"Given the German's success so far, it seems likely that Allegri will return to the table with ideas for a physical striker and the Frenchman should be near the top. He wants to leave Crystal Palace, and Milan may have financial freedom this summer. We shouldn't forget Milan's interest in Mateta, which began last summer and has been renewed with calls between October and November."
AC Milan have renewed interest in Jean-Philippe Mateta, who has been linked with the club since last summer and remains high on their list. Massimiliano Allegri favors a physical, box-striker profile and his search resumed after Niclas Fullkrug's arrival did not fully settle the role. Mateta reportedly wants to leave Crystal Palace and is personally keen on a move to Italy, reportedly studying Italian. Calls between October and November refreshed contact between parties. Milan may possess greater financial freedom in the coming summer, positioning Mateta as a likely target if the manager seeks a powerful centre-forward.
