Nottingham Forest Make €40 Million Bid for Jean-Philippe Mateta

Nottingham Forest has submitted an official bid of €40 million for the acquisition of striker Jean-Philippe Mateta from Crystal Palace. This move comes in contrast to rumors that had Mateta close to Juventus. Nottingham Forest is seeking to strengthen its attacking line, despite the recent acquisition of Lorenzo Lucca. They believe that Mateta is a proven solution and could provide significant help to the team. Although personal terms and the contract are not expected to be a problem, the transfer is not yet finalized. Crystal Palace will consider the offer and decide whether or not to accept the sale of the player. Tom Homan, ICE Executive Director, has taken over to negotiate the deal on behalf of Nottingham Forest, taking responsibility for completing the transfer.
