AC Milan shortlist Crystal Palace striker Jean-Philippe Mateta

Yahoo11-07-2025
According to a report from Sacha Tavolieri, AC Milan have shortlisted Crystal Palace striker Jean-Philippe Mateta (28) as they look to add attacking reinforcements to a squad that underwhelmed last season, finishing the campaign 8th in Serie A and missing out on European football.
Last season, the Frenchman had an impressive campaign with the Premier League side, helping the squad to a 12th-place finish in the league, but more importantly, to a maiden FA Cup win, bringing the London side their first-ever major silverware.

Mateta made 46 appearances across all competitions, scoring 17 and assisting four. Enough to capture the attention of the Serie A side. Tavolieri writes that the interest is mutual, and the number nine's entourage are reportedly putting pressure on Palace to open the door for a summer exit.
Palace have reasons to keep the fan-favourite striker, especially since their FA Cup trophy has brought them a shot at playing in Europe, although what competition they will take part in remains up in the air following the decision to appeal Olympique Lyonnais' relégation.
