Now everything depends on Crystal Palace.
Details: According to Fabrizio Romano on his X social media page, Milan has reached an agreement with 28-year-old Crystal Palace striker Jean-Philippe Mateta on personal contract terms.
It is reported that the next step lies with Crystal Palace, who are reluctant to let the player leave during the winter transfer window. If Milan fails to secure Mateta now, the Rossoneri will revisit the deal in the summer.
