🚨 Media: He’s off to Milan! Former Bundesliga striker moves for €35m | OneFootball

The transfer window is open until Monday, and a few deals are still in the works as the deadline approaches. Crystal Palace might lose an important striker. As reported by 'L'Equipe', Jean-Philippe Mateta is expected to leave the Premier League club.

According to 'The Athletic', Milan is currently working intensively on the deal. The Italian club is ready to pay 35 million euros for the striker. As Palace coach Oliver Glasner confirmed at the press conference before the game against Nottingham Forest, his striker will not be in the squad.

However, he explained that Mateta is not in the condition to play. This might also be related to the impending transfer.

Transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano reported on Friday evening that Mateta has already informed Crystal Palace of his decision to move to AC Milan.

Thus, the former Bundesliga striker seems to be heading to Italy. From 2018 to 2021, he was on a goal-scoring spree in the Bundesliga for Mainz 05, scoring 24 goals in 67 matches. Now, at the Serie A club, he will encounter Christopher Nkunku and Niclas Füllkrug, two strikers who also have Bundesliga experience.
