France striker Jean-Philippe Mateta requests transfer from Crystal

Jean-Philippe Mateta’s Selhurst Park career could be winding down.

BBC Sport’s Alex Howell reportsthe France striker has told Crystal Palace he’d like to leave the club.

Mateta, 28, has a contract that runs through the summer of 2027. He has eight goals in 21 league appearances this season.

“There will be a price that Crystal Palace [would accept], with 18 months left on his contract,” Glasner said. “We’d do the deal, if JP wants. If nobody pays that price, then he will stay.”

A native of the Paris area, Mateta joined the Eagles on loan from Bundesliga side Mainz in 2021 before making the move permanent in 2022 in a move worth €18 million.

Over four seasons with Palace, Mateta has 46 goals in 151 league matches and 56 goals across all competitions.

Mateta was a member of the Eagles team that won the FA Cup last spring.

Internationally, Mateta represented France at the 2024 Paris Olympics in a silver medal-winning effort, scoring four goals. He made his senior debut for Les Bleus this past October and has two goals in three France caps.
