"There has been another twist in the Jean-Philippe Mateta saga, as AC Milan are now evaluating whether to sign him before the deadline. It seemed as though everything was done and that Mateta would sign before the window closes. The Athletic even stated that the Frenchman is undergoing a medical today with a deal worth in excess of €30m having been agreed by Milan and Crystal Palace."
"First and foremost, Crystal Palace's need to find a replacement for him, though they seem to have secured Jorgen Strand Larsen. Another reason is the overcrowding in attack, with Christopher Nkunku having made it clear he wants to stay with Milan and the expected return of Santi Gimenez. Given Nkunku's decision (Fenerbahce and Roma were interested in him), it's uncertain whether the Frenchman will arrive immediately."
AC Milan are weighing whether to sign Jean-Philippe Mateta before the transfer deadline after earlier reports indicated a medical and a deal worth more than €30m agreed with Crystal Palace. Negotiations were placed on hold after an agreement with the player for several reasons, including Crystal Palace's need to find a replacement—who appears to be Jorgen Strand Larsen—and overcrowding in attack with Christopher Nkunku confirming he wants to stay and the expected return of Santi Gimenez. Milan are assessing whether Mateta can arrive immediately and conducting extra work on his knee after a recent injury, without any confirmation the deal is cancelled.
