Palace reject £30m Atalanta bid for Mateta
Jean-Phillippe MatetaCrystal Palace have rejected an offer of just over £30m for striker Jean-Phillippe Mateta from Italian club Atalanta.
The 28-year-old has two years left on his contract but it remains unclear whether Palace would accept higher offers, amid high demand for strikers across the transfer market.
However, the Italian club, who lost Serie A top scorer Mateo Retegui in a reported £56m move to Saudi Pro League club Al-Qadsiah, are looking for a suitable replacement.
Fulham's Rodrigo Muniz is also believed to be on Atalanta's list, along with Lecce's Nikola Krstovic and Genk's Tolu Arokodare.
