AC Milan are currently awaiting a final diagnosis from a club-appointed doctor in Paris, which will determine whether the Serie A side proceed with the transfer or abandon the move altogether.
The knee issue is believed to be serious enough for Milan to halt all formal steps in the deal, as the club remains cautious about committing to a player with potential long-term injury risks.
Mateta, who has been an important attacking option for Crystal Palace, was expected to strengthen Milan’s forward line, but the latest development has forced the Italian club to reassess their transfer plans.
A final decision will depend entirely on the medical report from Paris, with AC Milan weighing their options as uncertainty continues to surround the move.
