"AC Milan have been linked with a move for Jean-Philippe Mateta in recent days, and he continues to press for a move away from Crystal Palace. Calciomercato.com confirm that Mateta wants to play in Italy next. As reported in recent days by Fabrizio Romano in a video on his Italian YouTube channel, the striker is studying the Italian language, while waiting for a possible call from Serie A."
"Milan have been monitoring Mateta for months and are big admirers, but a move for him would require an exit, with all the evidence pointing to Christopher Nkunku. There is another obstacle too: competition from clubs with much deeper pockets. As reported by The Telegraph, Nottingham Forest are preparing an assault for Mateta. The Athletic even stated that they have submitted a £35m offer to Crystal Palace. It is close to Palace's request, but work would be needed to convince the player."
Jean-Philippe Mateta is pushing for a January move away from Crystal Palace and prefers a switch to Italy, studying Italian while awaiting Serie A interest. He has submitted an official transfer request for the January window. Crystal Palace will only accept a permanent sale and demand €40m, rejecting loan-based formulas. Juventus offered a loan with an option to buy near €30m, which Palace refused. AC Milan are interested but would need an exit such as Christopher Nkunku. Nottingham Forest have lodged a £35m offer, and Palace also consider signing a replacement like the former Milan man Jorgen Strand-Larsen, now at Wolves.
