Jean-Philippe Mateta has informed Crystal Palace he wishes to depart, sources confirm. The 28-year-old forward, under contract for 18 more months, has eight Premier League goals this season. He made his senior France debut in October, scoring twice in three appearances.

Juventus previously expressed interest but balked at Palace's £40 million asking price. Aston Villa and other clubs are now monitoring the situation. Mateta's exit would compound a turbulent January for the Eagles, who lost Marc Guéhi to Manchester City and saw manager Oliver Glasner criticize the club's direction.

Palace have not won a league match since December 7 but remain in the Conference League playoff round. With a crucial Chelsea fixture approaching, Glasner's squad faces mounting pressure. The club must now decide whether to cash in on Mateta or hold firm, as they navigate a season of transition and discontent.
