"Obviously, it's worrying for Palace right now. It seems that those contract talks have totally stalled and the player could be maybe tempted by a move away to another club, which would be a huge loss to Palace. For Palace right now, they can't afford a repeat of the Marc Guehi situation where maybe Mateta runs down his contract. So he's going to be one to really watch in the summer, especially if those contract talks continue to stall between him and Palace as well."
"Palace might be forced to cash in on him in the summer rather than risk allowing him to run down his contract and potentially leave on a free."
Crystal Palace face the possibility of selling Jean-Philippe Mateta next summer if contract negotiations fail to progress. The player's current deal runs until 2027, but stalled talks increase the risk he could be tempted away by another club. Palace are keen to retain Mateta but want to avoid a repeat of the Marc Guehi scenario in which a player runs down his contract. The club may therefore prefer to cash in during the upcoming summer transfer window rather than risk losing him for free at the end of his deal. Mateta's situation will be one to watch closely.
