Crystal Palace hero Jean-Philippe Mateta has hinted he could leave the club in the near future as he wants to compete for the "Champions League and the biggest trophies". Mateta has displayed sublime form for Palace in recent years, having scored 30 Premier League goals in the last two seasons. The Frenchman also played a key role in the Eagles winning the FA Cup, beating Manchester City in the final.

Manchester United have been told they should have signed Crystal Palace striker Jean-Philippe Mateta over Benjamin Sesko in the summer transfer window. United endured a dire 2024-25 season upfront, with Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee combining for just seven Premier League goals. That failure forced the club to throw big money at RB Leipzig’s Sesko, while also bringing in Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha.

Three Premier League teams are reportedly eyeing a January transfer move for Crystal Palace star Jean-Philippe Mateta.

Manchester United are set to be snubbed by Jean-Philippe Mateta as they seek an alternative for number one target Liam Delap.
