Crystal Palace\u2019s transfer plans have hit an unexpected pause as AC Milan continue to deliberate over Jean-Philippe Mateta\u2019s medical results, creating a domino effect that could delay multiple deals across Europe.<\/p>\n
According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Palace are still awaiting Milan\u2019s final verdict following Mateta\u2019s medical checks. The French striker, who has been a crucial figure for the Eagles with his physical presence and goal-scoring ability, is currently in limbo as Italian giants assess his fitness before giving full approval to the move.<\/p>\n
This uncertainty is not only impacting Mateta\u2019s future but is also holding up Crystal Palace\u2019s pursuit of Genoa striker Strand Larsen. Romano reports that Palace\u2019s final approval for the Strand Larsen deal is directly dependent on Mateta\u2019s situation being resolved. Until AC Milan provide clarity, Palace are reluctant to push forward with their next attacking reinforcement.<\/p>\n
The chain reaction highlights how tightly connected transfer negotiations can be, especially when clubs are working within limited timeframes and financial structures. Palace are keen to avoid being left short in attack and want full confirmation of Mateta\u2019s exit before committing to a replacement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
