Overview
- Crystal Palace have held discussions with Jean-Philippe Mateta about extending his contract at Selhurst Park.
- Manchester United previously explored Mateta, who has about 18 months left on his deal and was reportedly valued near £40m after 16- and 14-goal seasons.
- Benjamin Sesko has been ruled out for several weeks, and Ruben Amorim is considering bringing in another forward in January.
- Kobbie Mainoo has yet to start a league match this season, and reports suggest a sale is being weighed because academy exits can be booked as “pure profit.”
- Finance expert Dan Plumley told Football Insider that such profit can be recognized in-year for PSR calculations, with United carrying widely reported debt of roughly £1bn.
