Overview
- Sky Sports reports United hold long-term interest in Jean-Philippe Mateta but are not actively seeking a striker this window.
- Mateta’s deal runs to 2027 and will enter its final year in July, with extension talks having stalled and his future uncertain.
- Palace turned down offers worth up to about £50m last window, and it is unclear whether their valuation has changed.
- United are also monitoring Rennes centre-back Jeremy Jacquet, though a January move is considered difficult.
- Goal.com reports Palace have agreed a deal to sign Brennan Johnson from Tottenham, a move that could influence their forward plans.
