"A report from France has confirmed that AC Milan are in advanced talks to sign Jean-Philippe Mateta, so much so that he could arrive in Italy today. According to L'Equipe, Mateta is set to leave Crystal Palace for Milan, where a three-and-a-half-year deal awaits him. The transfer fee is reported to be €35m and the French international - who has been capped three times - has already agreed personal terms with the Rossoneri."
"In recent hours, the striker had also been the subject of a major offer from Nottingham Forest. However, the two offers submitted by Forest failed to generate much excitement with the player, who wanted a bigger club. At 28, Mateta's priority was to join a side capable of competing in the Champions League, and Milan are currently second in Serie A so they are on course to get back there. He could fly to Italy as early as this evening, as per the report."
