The website "Football Italia" reported that AC Milan has shown interest in signing French striker Jean-Philippe Mateta, a player for Crystal Palace, during the current summer transfer window, as part of their efforts to strengthen the front line.

The report indicated that Mateta has established himself as one of the top strikers in the Premier League since joining Crystal Palace four years ago, making him a target for Milan in the current market.

The site clarified that Crystal Palace does not wish to part with the player, even though the deal could reach around £35 million, especially since Mateta's contract with the club runs until June 2027.

Mateta has an impressive record with Crystal Palace, having played 152 matches in various competitions, scoring 46 goals and providing 11 assists, making him a key attacking player for the English team.
