Crystal Palace's Mateta Wants to Leave Amid Growing Interest

Crystal Palace striker Jean-Philippe Mateta has informed the club of his intention to depart as interest from European and Premier League sides escalates. The 28-year-old has 18 months remaining on his contract at Selhurst Park but is unwilling to sign an extension.

Manager Olivier Glasner confirmed the club's willingness to consider offers for Mateta. Crystal Palace recently lost key players like Eberechi Eze and Marc Guehi.

Mateta's desire to leave comes after Glasner criticized the club's hierarchy for their recruitment strategy following a loss to Sunderland in the FA Cup.
