According to the latest report of the well-known British media "Express", Crystal Palace striker Matta and the club's contract renewal negotiations have reached a stalemate, the two sides failed to reach an agreement on the salary level and terms of the severance payment, resulting in the contract renewal process is blocked.
Since Crystal Palace's new manager Glasner took over at the beginning of February, Mikel Mikhail Mata has had a career breakthrough, scoring 14 goals in 15 Premier League matches, showing great goal-scoring efficiency. However, the in-form French striker is not satisfied with the status quo, and is eager to join a Champions League-qualified club to further challenge himself and elevate his career.
In the face of Matta's willingness to transfer, Crystal Palace is obviously not willing to easily release, and took the initiative to open the contract renewal negotiations, trying to improve the treatment to retain the sharp knife of the front line. But unfortunately, the two sides in the salary and termination of the key terms of the disagreement is too big, so that the negotiation progress is slow, and even into a state of stagnation.
With this in mind, Mikel Mikhail Mateta has made it clear that he is willing to leave Crystal Palace before the summer transfer window closes in search of a new challenge. It is reported that the 27-year-old French striker's current contract with Crystal Palace still has two years to expire, but he has received invitations from Aston Villa as well as a number of clubs in Italy and Spain, and the prospect of a transfer looks optimistic.
Bundesliga powerhouse Leverkusen have also joined the battle for Mattera and have recently initiated negotiations. Previously, Mattera had turned down an offer from another Bundesliga side, RB Leipzig, but the addition of Leverkusen has undoubtedly added a new variable to his transfer.
