"This afternoon, AC Milan pulled out of a deal to sign Jean-Philippe Mateta, due to a few reasons. However, the Frenchman will now head to surgery. It has certainly been an interesting saga with Mateta, and the striker seemed almost guaranteed to be heading to San Siro at one point. Once again, the medical, though, was the issue, just as it was for Victor Boniface in the summer."
"Now, with the dust clearing a little, Sacha Tavolieri has provided an update on what went wrong, via his X account. "In addition to issues related to agents' commissions, there was indeed also a physical problem. The Frenchman will need knee surgery to fully recover and would be out for 3 to 4 months." The agent issues seemed to be too much, and did play a factor. However, it was indeed a knee problem which seemingly killed the move. In fact, considering he will now have surgery for the injury"
AC Milan withdrew from a deal to sign Jean-Philippe Mateta for multiple reasons, including disputes over agents' commissions and a medical issue. Further checks by Milan's representative prompted the club to call off the transfer. Mateta requires knee surgery and is expected to be out for three to four months while recovering. Agent commission problems complicated negotiations and contributed to the collapse of the move. The knee injury appears to have been the decisive factor, making Milan's decision to withdraw from the deal understandable given the expected recovery time.
