Nottingham Forest Want Jean-Philippe Mateta Transfer Amid Crystal Palace Turmoil

Nottingham Forest offer £35 million for Mateta as he seeks Champions League football; Palace values him at £35m-£40m and wants a replacement before selling.

  • This month, Nottingham Forest offered 35m to sign Crystal Palace forward Jean-Philippe Mateta, who has informed Palace he wishes to leave.
  • Mateta has long wanted Champions League football and turned down a new Selhurst Park contract, while Aston Villa and Juventus renewed interest earlier this month.
  • Palace value Mateta at around £35m-£40m and he has 18 months left on his contract; the Eagles will not loan him without an obligation to buy and won’t sell before signing a replacement.
  • A move to the City Ground could give Mateta a Champions League route if Nottingham Forest win the Europa League, while Chris Wood's injury and Lorenzo Lucca's loan bolster squad options this month.
  • Palace chief Steve Parish accused Nottingham Forest of causing Palace's UEFA Conference League demotion, while Forest must consider PSR rules and possible departures if they complete more signings this month.
