Crystal Palace may have to cash in on Jean-Philippe Mateta next summer, according to Football Insider.

While Palace are keen on holding onto Mateta, the London club could be forced to part company with the striker next summer, if he does not sign a deal, with his cirrent contract to run out in 2027.

Journalist Pete O’Rourke said: “Obviously, it’s worrying for Palace right now.

“It seems that those contract talks have totally stalled and the player could be maybe tempted by a move away to another club, which would be a huge loss to Palace.

“For Palace right now, they can’t afford a repeat of the Marc Guehi situation where maybe Mateta runs down his contract.

“So he’s going to be one to really watch in the summer, especially if those contract talks continue to stall between him and Palace as well.

“Palace might be forced to cash in on him in the summer rather than risk allowing him to run down his contract and potentially leave on a free.”
