AC Milan maintains interest in Crystal Palace’s Jean-Philippe Mateta

Summary

AC Milan continues to pursue Jean-Philippe Mateta, despite a prior knee issue derailing a move in January. The French forward had expressed a desire to leave Crystal Palace, and although he faced medical complications, he finished the season strongly, scoring in the UEFA Europa Conference League final against Rayo Vallecano. With speculation about his departure resurfacing, Mateta could move to either a Premier League rival or Serie A. Additionally, AC Milan might be managed by former Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner soon, which could further influence Mateta's potential move.
