"MilanNews confirm that Milan accelerated their pursuit of Jean-Philippe Mateta overnight, the striker who has made 34 appearances and scored 10 goals for Crystal Palace this season in the Premier League and European competitions. It won't be an easy deal to pull off because of the price tag and competition, but the Rossoneri would like to try to bring him to Milanello immediately in a €30m operation. Otherwise his arrival would be postponed until the summer window."
"For his arrival to happen before the February 2 deadline, Crystal Palace must sign another striker. That box looks like being ticked, because Jorgen Strand Larsen - ironically a former Milan Primavera forward - looks to be heading there in a €50m deal. In addition to that, Milan must make room for Mateta in their squad. The main candidate to leave seems to be Christopher Nkunku, who has been hotly pursued by Fenerbahçe in recent weeks."
AC Milan accelerated their pursuit of Jean-Philippe Mateta, who has 34 appearances and 10 goals for Crystal Palace across Premier League and European competitions. Milan prefer an immediate €30m transfer to bring Mateta to Milanello, otherwise the club will pursue the move in the summer window. Palace must recruit a striker before the February 2 deadline for Mateta to depart, with Jorgen Strand Larsen reportedly close to a €50m switch to Palace. Milan also need to free a squad spot, with Christopher Nkunku the main candidate amid interest from Fenerbahçe and coach Domenico Tedesco. Time constraints make both deals difficult but Milan will attempt them.
