"Mateta's suggestion that he might be open to leaving Crystal Palace signals that his next chapter could be approaching sooner. His rise started from the 2023-24 season when he scored 16 goals in the Premier League and he kept up his form in the 2024-25 season by scoring 14 goals. His consistent numbers have caught the attention of some Premier League clubs who could consider a move for the Frenchman in the near future."
"It's natural, every ambitious player wants to reach that milestone. Especially when you arrive in the national team and around you, there are only players who play in the Champions League, who win the biggest trophies. When you play surrounded by the best players in the world, naturally you want to reach that milestone."
Jean-Philippe Mateta hinted he could leave Crystal Palace to seek Champions League football. The French striker earned a France call-up and is expected to make his international debut at 28. Mateta scored 16 Premier League goals in 2023-24 and 14 in 2024-25, helping Palace win the FA Cup and Community Shield. His consistent scoring has attracted interest from other Premier League clubs, reportedly including Liverpool and Manchester United, as well as teams across Europe and in the Championship. Mateta expressed that playing alongside Champions League players and competing for the biggest trophies is a natural ambition.
