Milan handed Mateta boost as Strand Larsen set for Palace medical | OneFootball

Multiple sources claim that Wolverhampton Wanderers have accepted an offer from Crystal Palace for Jorgen Strand Larsen, as Milan continue to push to sign Jean-Philippe Mateta.

Wolves striker Strand Larsen is on the verge of joining Crystal Palace. According to The Athletic, the Norway international will undergo medical tests with the South London-based club on Sunday.

Both The Athletic and Sky Sports UK claim that Wolves have accepted an offer from Palace.

The proposal is reportedly worth £43m (nearly €50m) plus £5m (€5.7m) add-ons

The latest update from the UK is quite meaningful for Serie A giants Milan, who hope to sign Mateta from Crystal Palace before the winter transfer window shuts tomorrow.

Strand Larsen to replace Mateta at Crystal Palace?

Sky Sport and Gazzetta claimed earlier this week that Milan had reached an agreement with Palace over a €30m transfer for Mateta.

Crystal Palace, however, needed to sign a replacement before sending Mateta to San Siro and with Strand Larsen now set to move to South London, the Rossoneri hope to unlock the Mateta deal.
