AC Milan Medical Twist for Mateta

Last Updated : 02-Feb-2026 by Footymad

Crystal Palace striker Jean-Philippe Mateta is in Milan today to finalise a €30 million move to AC Milan, but the deal has hit a late snag.

Reports suggest "further medical checks" are required regarding a persistent issue.

Palace have already lined up Wolves' Jørgen Strand Larsen as his replacement, but that move is dependent on Mateta’s departure.

If the medical fails, it could trigger a "domino effect" that leaves several Premier League clubs frustrated in the final hours of the window.
