The name of Jean-Philippe Mateta circulated a lot in the various transfer window rumors last summer. And for good reason, after a brilliant season with Crystal Palace with 14 goals in the Premier League in particular, the French striker was coveted by many clubs, in England and elsewhere. Liverpool had notably taken information, as revealed by us.
But ultimately, the former Olympique Lyonnais remained with London. A rather interesting choice, since he continued to score with the Eagles – 8 goals in the league this season – but above all, he had his first selection for the French team in the fall. Obviously, while the winter transfer window has just started, his name is still mentioned in the media all over Europe…
Mateta finally in Serie A?
Recently, the Italian press indicated that AC Milan was interested in his services. Better still, the idea of discovering Serie A would interest him enormously. And now according to Sportmediasetanother Italian big name is thinking of enlisting him: it is Juventus. Turin scouts even went to supervise him recently.
It must be said that the Old Lady is looking for a replacement for Dusan Vlahovic, who will leave Turin at the end of his contract at the end of June. Mateta is therefore on the shortlist, while his contract at Palace expires in 2027. Which forces both the player and the London team to make a decision relatively quickly for his future… The Italian media estimates that Mateta could thus be sold for a sum of between 20 and 25 million euros this summer, one year from the end of his contract. To be continued.
