A number of European clubs have shown an interest in Mateta in recent months, including Serie A side Atalanta.<\/p>\n
Uncertainty over his future has surfaced at a time when Oliver Glasner’s disappointment regarding the club’s transfer activity has come to the fore once more.<\/p>\n
Glasner, who led Palace to their first major trophy when they lifted the FA Cup in May, has been juggling the club’s domestic campaign with their first foray into European football.<\/p>\n
Speaking to Match of the Day after Sunday’s 2-1 loss to Manchester United, the Austrian said: “We missed a couple of chances in July and August, in the transfer window, to make it easier for us but again we will stick together and make it better.”<\/p>\n
Glasner continued in his post-match news conference: “If you play European football for the first time in your history, you should invest and not save.<\/p>\n
“I think January is too late [to add]. We will have played more than 50% of our games.<\/p>\n
“Everything was pretty clear and I didn’t say anything but today I think it is also time to speak about it that we missed the chance to play an even better season in the summer.”<\/p>\n
Glasner’s own future is unclear. The former Eintracht Frankfurt coach’s current deal expires at the end of the season and there is no agreement in place to extend it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A number of European clubs have shown an interest in Mateta in recent months, including Serie A side…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":169547,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[61,60,112],"class_list":["post-169546","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/169546","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=169546"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/169546\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/169547"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=169546"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=169546"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=169546"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
