"Manchester United are said to be leading the race to sign Jean-Philippe Mateta in January. A 40 million asking price has been touted as sufficient for Crystal Palace to entertain offers for the France international, who continues to hit new heights in terms of his impressive Premier League goalscoring. Although the Eagles are currently reluctant to part ways with their star man, Mateta is yet to agree new contract terms with his current deal expiring in 2027."
"It's been a huge 18 months for Mateta, recently earning his first senior call-up to the French national team aged 28. A huge part of Oliver Glasner's success at Selhurst Park, it is thought the former Mainz man is hopeful of being rewarded for recent performances. There is now talk Manchester United could be lining up a January bid for the forward."
"According to Caught Offside, the Red Devils, along with Newcastle United and Tottenham, believe a fee of 40m would be enough to tempt Palace into selling Mateta. Palace had hoped to tie him down to a new contract, but I think there's a growing realisation now that the player is unlikely to engage further in talks, one source said.

Jean-Philippe Mateta has emerged as one of the Premier League's most in-form strikers and earned his first senior France call-up at 28. Crystal Palace value him highly but may consider offers of about £40 million as contract renewal talks have stalled and his current deal runs until 2027. Manchester United, Newcastle and Tottenham are reportedly interested, with United believed to be leading the January pursuit as coach Ruben Amorim looks to strengthen the attack. Mateta played a key role under Oliver Glasner at Selhurst Park and is thought to be open to a move while reaching the peak of his career.
