"While the structure provided future financial security for Palace, the total package, approximately 26.2m, fell well below the 35 million the London club are demanding for their in-form striker. Juventus fail to meet asking price for Mateta Palace immediately rejected the bid, insisting that Mateta's importance to the squad, combined with his contract (running until 2027), means he will not be allowed to leave unless their valuation is met."
"The Bianconeri have been actively searching for a striker to support Dusan Vlahovic, who has been sidelined intermittently with injury issues. Mateta has been highlighted as an ideal option due to his physical presence and aerial dominance, his ability to play as a lone striker or part of a two and his Premier League goal-scoring record, which has significantly improved over the past two seasons."
Juventus have renewed efforts to sign Jean-Philippe Mateta from Crystal Palace after an opening proposal was rejected. Their initial proposal offered a £1.7m loan fee plus a £24.5m obligation to buy, valuing the deal at about £26.2m. Crystal Palace value Mateta at £35m and immediately rejected the bid, citing his importance and his contract running until 2027. Juventus seek a striker to support Dusan Vlahovic due to injury concerns and view Mateta as physically dominant, strong in the air and capable as a lone or paired striker. Palace are reluctant to sell amid recent key departures, but Juventus remain optimistic they can bridge the gap.
