"Image source, Getty Images France striker Jean-Philippe Mateta has told Crystal Palace he wants to leave amid interest from other Premier League and European clubs. Mateta has 18 months remaining on his current deal at Selhurst Park and as things stand he will not be signing an extension. Italian giants Juventus have tried to sign the striker this month but have so far failed to reach Palace's valuation, which is believed to be around 40m."
"Aston Villa, who have been keen on Mateta for some time, have also shown interest in a move this month. Speaking last week, Palace manager Oliver Glasner admitted the club are listening to offers for Mateta. "There will be a price that Crystal Palace [accept], with 18 months left on his contract. We'd do the deal, if JP wants. If nobody pays that price, then he will stay," said the Austrian."
