by Crystal Palace star Jean-Philippe Mateta is keen on a move to Napoli as the Italian club shows interest in the prolific striker.
Mateta revitalized his career last season at Crystal Palace, scoring an impressive 14 goals in his last 16 Premier League appearances under new manager Oliver Glasner. His stellar performance has attracted the attention of several European clubs, including Napoli.
According to Gazzetta dello Sport (via ArenaNapoli), Mateta is intrigued by the prospect of joining Napoli and playing under former Tottenham boss Antonio Conte.
Although Napoli is primarily focused on securing a loan deal for Romelu Lukaku, Chelsea is currently insisting on meeting his £38m release clause. Mateta becomes a secondary option if Napoli decides to sell Victor Osimhen this summer.
The French striker’s strong finish last season has positioned him as a viable target for top clubs, and a move to Napoli could mark the next significant step in his career.4o
