"Crystal Palace striker Jean-Philippe Mateta's future is uncertain as the transfer deadline approaches after AC Milan withdrew their interest, sources have told ESPN. Mateta was hopeful of completing a move worth in excess of £26 million ($35m), but he underwent tests with Milan's club doctor earlier on Monday and the Serie A side have decided not to proceed with the deal."
"The 28-year-old is carrying a knee problem, but Milan's U-turn still comes as a surprise, leaving Mateta in limbo before the window closes in England on Monday evening. Juventus have also been tracking Mateta but it is unclear whether they will look to pursue a deal while Nottingham Forest made a £35m ($47.8m) bid earlier in the window."

Juventus have been tracking Mateta, but no clear pursuit has emerged. Nottingham Forest submitted a £35m ($47.8m) bid earlier in the window. Palace's planned £48m ($66m) deal with Wolves for Jorgen Strand Larsen may be affected, as Strand Larsen was expected to replace Mateta.
