Medical worries holding up Milan’s Jean-Philippe Mateta transfer | OneFootball

AC Milan’s pursuit of Jean-Philippe Mateta has entered a delicate phase as the club raises concerns over the striker’s physical condition.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, while a total agreement has been reached on every financial aspect of the deal with Crystal Palace, the transfer is currently being held up by medical doubts. Specifically, the Rossoneri management are wary of the player’s knee following a history of previous injuries.

The Frenchman underwent a medical today but when it reached the Rossoneri, some issues were raised by team dcotors. To resolve the impasse, Milan have decided to send a club doctor to London tomorrow. The mission is to closely examine the Frenchman and conduct a series of specialized tests to determine the stability of the joint.

Mateta remains keen on the move and the clubs have already shaken hands on the figures, but the green light from the medical staff is now the final and most crucial hurdle. Should the clinical reports provide the necessary guarantees, the Rossoneri will proceed to finalize the signing. Oherwise, the deal remains at significant risk of collapsing at the finish line.
