Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur have been approached regarding his availability. Mateta's previous transfer to AC Milan fell through due to medical concerns. Despite Crystal Palace triggering a 12-month contract option keeping him until June 2027, Mateta is eager to secure a deal before the September 1 deadline. He started in Palace's recent 2-0 defeat to Everton but has expressed dissatisfaction with the club's handling of his situation.
