Barcelona considering Jean-Philippe Mateta move

Crystal Palace striker Jean-Philippe Mateta is being linked with a move away from the club, and Barcelona are keen on securing his signature.

Jean-Philippe Mateta has 13 goals in all competitions this season, and it is no surprise that Barcelona are keen on him. According to a report by Spanish outlet Fichajes, the Blaugrana are contemplating a move for him at the end of the season.

It will be interesting to see if Barcelona can get the deal done. They need to add more quality and depth to their attacking unit, and the 27-year-old could prove to be a quality acquisition. The Frenchman has proven his quality in the Premier League, and he could make an instant impact in La Liga as well. Barcelona need a younger alternative to Robert Lewandowski, and the Crystal Palace striker could be the ideal acquisition.

Mateta could fancy Barcelona move

The opportunity to play for Barcelona will be quite attractive for the in-form striker, and he will certainly be keen on the move if there is a concrete proposal on the table. It will be interesting to see if Crystal Palace are willing to let him move.

The Frenchman has a contract with Crystal Palace until the summer of 2026, and he will enter the final year of his contract at the end of this season. The Eagles could be under pressure to cash in on him. They will not want to lose him for free next year.

He could be available for a reasonable amount of money at the end of the season. No club will be willing to pay a premium for him, given his contract situation. Barcelona are going through financial difficulties and the need to hunt for bargains. Signing the 27-year-old for a knockdown price would be a quality acquisition.

Barcelona are one of the biggest clubs in the world, and they could help the 27-year-old push for major trophies regularly. It would be a major step up in his career, and it will be interesting to see if he can adapt to their style of play quickly if the deal gets done.
