Juventus Reopens File on Crystal Palace Striker Mateta

Juventus has returned to considering signing French striker Jean-Philippe Mateta, a Crystal Palace player, during the upcoming summer transfer window.

According to Italian and English reports, Juventus management believes that Mateta could be a suitable option to strengthen the attacking line, especially with the ongoing uncertainty surrounding the future of some forwards within the team. Sources indicate that the player might leave Crystal Palace for an amount ranging between 20 and 25 million euros.

Juventus had already made previous contacts with the English club in recent months, but Crystal Palace's financial demands were higher at that time, with the club asking for between 35 and 40 million euros. As the player's contract approaches its end in 2027, the requested value has gradually started to decrease.

Mateta is considered one of the standout forwards who have caught attention in the English Premier League over the last two seasons, thanks to his physical strength and movements inside the penalty area, making him a target for several European clubs alongside Juventus.

The management of "The Old Lady" continues to closely monitor the player's situation, with the possibility of making an official move in the coming weeks if the financial demands are further reduced.
