Crystal Palace striker Jean-Philippe Mateta tells club he wants to leave

France striker Jean-Philippe Mateta has told Crystal Palace he wants to leave amid interest from other Premier League and European clubs.

Mateta has 18 months remaining on his current deal at Selhurst Park and as things stand he will not be signing an extension.

Italian giants Juventus have tried to sign the striker this month but have so far failed to reach Palace’s valuation, which is believed to be around £40m.

Aston Villa, who have been keen on Mateta for some time, have also shown interest in a move this month.

Speaking last week, Palace manager Oliver Glasner admitted the club are listening to offers for Mateta.

“There will be a price that Crystal Palace [accept], with 18 months left on his contract. We’d do the deal, if JP wants. If nobody pays that price, then he will stay,” said the Austrian.

Palace, who won the FA Cup in May, sold star midfielder Eberechi Eze to Arsenal in the summer and have lost captain Marc Guehi this January, after he joined Manchester City in a £20m deal.

Glasner, who announced last week that he will leave the club at the end of the season, launched a scathing attack on the Palace hierarchy following Saturday’s loss to Sunderland – claiming the team had been ‘abandoned’ by the club’s recruitment strategy.

Palace were knocked out of the FA Cup at non-league Macclesfield in one of the tournament’s greatest shocks earlier this month.
