Milan Considering Return for Jean-Philippe Mateta
Milan is reportedly exploring a potential move for Crystal Palace striker Jean-Philippe Mateta ahead of the upcoming summer transfer window. Football Express reported on May 2, 2026, that his agent was observed at “San Siro” during the 0-0 Serie A draw against Juventus. The Italian club previously attempted to acquire Mateta in January, agreeing on a transfer fee of approximately €30 million with Crystal Palace.
However, the deal ultimately collapsed due to medical examination results. Reports indicated that Mateta was flagged with a kidney condition, leading to conflicting opinions from medical experts and the termination of the agreement. Following the failed January attempt, Milan’s interest appears to be resurfacing.
The presence of his agent at “San Siro” has fueled speculation about a renewed bid. Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner had previously addressed the situation. The potential return highlights Milan’s continued scouting efforts and their interest in bolstering their attacking options.
Further developments are anticipated as the summer transfer window approaches.

It’s interesting to see Milan revisiting potential targets, particularly with an agent spotted at San Siro.
Could this interest in Mateta be linked to discussions surrounding another player, specifically Hysaj?
