Crystal Palace have set a asking price of £40-50m (€48-60m) for striker Jean-Philippe Mateta if he is to leave in the summer transfer window, with a number of clubs interested.
The 27-year-old striker, who is contracted to Crystal Palace until 2026, has scored 10 goals in 24 Premier League games in the 2024-25 season and 13 goals in 29 games in all competitions.

Crystal Palace are aware of this and have put a €50m asking price on Mateta’s head. That’s a considerable figure but it hasn’t put Atlético immediately off. Instead, they are still keeping a close eye on his situation and cold even try to negotiate a lower price in the summer.
The belief is that the Crystal Palace striker would fit in perfectly under Diego Simeone. He wants a striker with the ability to pin down centre-backs with his back to goal and ‘provide forcefulness’ inside the box.
Several of the current attacking options in the current squad have uncertain futures ahead of them and so Mateta is being eyes in case there are departures.

In addition, in addition to ‘ Atletico Madrid ‘ , Barcelona , who are looking for a successor to Robert Lewandowski, are also impress by Mateta.
