Manchester United Target Crystal Palace Striker Mateta

Manchester United are closely monitoring Jean-Philippe Mateta, the Crystal Palace striker, as a potential transfer target. Manager Ruben Amorim is looking for an additional forward due to Benjamin Sesko's struggles to adapt. Mateta, 28, is having an excellent season with 7 goals in 18 Premier League appearances, and his contract expires in the summer of 2027, with no indication of renewal. This situation gives Manchester United the opportunity to push for his acquisition, even during the January transfer window. The player's market value is estimated at 40 million euros.
