Striker pushes for January exit after talks with Aston Villa and Juventus.
Jean-Philippe Mateta and his representatives have officially informed Crystal Palace of the striker’s desire to leave the club during the January transfer window.
The French forward has already held talks with Aston Villa and Juventus, as interest in his services continues to grow across both the Premier League and Serie A.
Sources indicate that Mateta is keen to secure a January move, with discussions now at a critical stage. However, the final decision rests with Crystal Palace, who must determine whether to sanction his departure midway through the season.
Mateta has been a key attacking option for Palace, and his potential exit could force the club into the market for a replacement should negotiations progress.
With multiple clubs monitoring the situation, the coming days are expected to be decisive as Palace weigh their options amid growing transfer pressure.
