"The question now is whether the deal will close and when. The odds are significantly increasing, and Giorgio Furlani is working to close the operation immediately. Milan has made its choice: Mateta could be the No.9 of the future. What's missing? Crystal Palace's approval for an immediate transfer. Palace are also attempting to acquire Jorgen Strand Larsen - curiously a former Milan Primavera player - from Wolverhampton Wanderers."
"Keep an eye on Nottingham Forest too, who have now been overtaken but seem willing to invest a serious sum. The next few hours will be crucial, because Mateta's intentions are clear: Italy has always interested him (even in recent years, he's been very open to a move to Serie A) and he has a deal with Milan over personal terms worth €3-€3.5m net per season plus bonuses."
AC Milan reached agreement with Crystal Palace on a €30m transfer fee for Jean-Philippe Mateta and are attempting to finalise the move immediately rather than wait until summer. Mateta scored 38 goals across the last two and a half Premier League seasons, increasing Milan’s attacking threat. Juventus have also pursued Mateta. Giorgio Furlani is working to complete the operation, but Crystal Palace must approve an immediate departure and are pursuing Jorgen Strand Larsen from Wolverhampton Wanderers as a potential replacement. Nottingham Forest remain interested. Mateta has personal terms with Milan worth €3–3.5m net per season plus bonuses and has expressed interest in Italy.
