Juventus Bid for Crystal Palace's Mateta Rebuffed as Price Gap Persists

Crystal Palace insist on a permanent €35–40m deal, creating a gap with Juventus' loan‑plus‑obligation approach.

Overview

  • Sky Sport and Tuttosport report Palace rejected Juventus’ proposal of a €2m loan with a conditional €28m obligation tied to European qualification.
  • Multiple outlets say Jean‑Philippe Mateta has accepted personal terms with Juventus on a four‑year contract.
  • Palace coach Oliver Glasner said the club will sell if its price is met and the player wishes to leave, otherwise Mateta will stay.
  • Juventus are evaluating alternatives, with Youssef En‑Nesyri and Joshua Zirkzee under consideration and talks explored for Daniel Maldini.
  • The push follows Juventus’ lackluster attack in a 1-0 loss to Cagliari, with Luciano Spalletti backing a move for a physical No. 9.
