Crystal Palace striker Jean-Philippe Mateta is ‘looking for a new experience’ this summer and Salernitana are eyeing up a potential move.
That’s according to La Citta di Salerno, who say the Italian side are ‘courting him’ as the look to add a forward to their squad this summer.
Several reports have made it clear that Mateta could be sold by Crystal Palace in this window as the Eagles plan for another season under Roy Hodgson.
A report in Italy yesterday claimed Genoa were interested in a potential deal for him but now Salernitana can be added to the mix.
La Citta report that the Italian side are ‘looking abroad’ for a potential addition to their forward line and Mateta is a ‘last-minute addition’ to their list of options.
He is looking for a new experience after a ‘bittersweet adventure’ with Crystal Palace in England and Salernitana are ‘courting him’, although they are not the only Italian side interested in a transfer.
At this point there is no mention of a transfer fee or talks with the Eagles so far, just an interest in the player and him being on their shortlist.
It’s a situation to keep an eye on nonetheless, with Italy seeming likely to be Mateta’s destination if he leaves Crystal Palace in the coming weeks.
