"He was on AC Milan's list in the summer, but dealing with Crystal Palace isn't easy. I can tell you, however, that the message I'm getting is that Mateta is ready for a different experience. I confirm the temptation of Italy for 2026; we'll see if it's in the summer or January, although the winter transfer window is a difficult one, and I don't think Crystal Palace can let go of someone like Mateta."
"Speaking on his YouTube channel, his words have been relayed by MilanNews. I can add that the last real contact between the player and Palace regarding a renewal was in August. Since then, there has been no further contact; Mateta doesn't seem very inclined to renew his contract, which expires in 2027. I can confirm that Italy is a destination he would consider, as well as staying in the Premier League."
Jean-Philippe Mateta has been linked with AC Milan after attracting transfer interest earlier in the summer. Crystal Palace were reluctant to sell following FA Cup and Community Shield successes and have not pursued a recent contract renewal with the player. Sources indicate Mateta seeks a different experience and would consider a move to Italy or staying in the Premier League. Interest from AC Milan remains and could be revisited in a future window, though the winter transfer period is challenging and Palace are unlikely to easily let go of a striker of Mateta's profile.
