"According to Stefan Borson on Football Insider, a move to Aston Villa is more likely for the player. Crystal Palace are demanding 40 million for the striker, and Borson believes that Aston Villa might be able to pay that kind of money for the player. The West Midlands club have been outstanding this season and are fighting for a place in the Champions League next season. Aston Villa are currently third in the league table."
"I think Crystal Palace have got a much better bet getting the money out of Villa, said Borson. It would not surprise me if he ends up at Villa. I think that feels like a solid signing for Villa, given where they are in the Premier League, given where they are in the Europa League. It makes a lot of sense if they can manage to find a way without breaching their various restrictions. It makes a lot of sense to get Mateta on board."
Aston Villa are being linked with Crystal Palace striker Jean-Philippe Mateta, who wants to leave the London club this month and has attracted interest from AC Milan and Juventus. Crystal Palace value the striker at 40 million, and observers believe Aston Villa could meet that fee. Villa sit third in the Premier League and are competing in the Europa League while targeting Champions League qualification, making them an appealing destination. Mateta has 12 goal contributions this season, is a proven Premier League performer, offers hold-up play and link-up ability, and could bolster Villa’s attacking options alongside Tammy Abraham.
