Mateta medical given green light ahead of Milan transfer

Jean-Philippe Mateta is set to have a medical on Sunday ahead of a permanent transfer from Crystal Palace to Milan according to the latest updates. 

Mateta all set for Milan medical

According to James Horncastle and David Ornstein of The Athletic, The France international is set to join the Rossoneri in a deal worth over €30m and is expected to have his medical before the end of the weekend. 

Milan have been hoping to secure a deal for Mateta in the final week of the January transfer window, but have had to wait for Crystal Palace to find a suitable replacement first. 

The South London side have now wrapped up a deal for Wolverhampton Wanderers forward Jorgen Strand Larsen, who is expected to join Oliver Glasner’s side in a deal worth just shy of €50m before bonuses. 

This clears the path for Mateta to join Milan, despite interest from the likes of Juventus and Nottingham Forest earlier this month. 

Mateta has scored eight goals from 23 appearances in the Premier League this term and has a career record of 46 goals from 153 appearances in the English top flight. He also recorded two goals from three caps with the senior France national team in 2025.
