Crystal Palace<\/a> striker Jean-Philippe Mateta’s move to AC Milan has been called off because of issues with his medical.<\/p>\n

But Palace are still set to sign Wolves<\/a> forward Jorgen Strand Larsen in a \u00a348m deal before Monday’s 19:00 GMT transfer deadline.<\/p>\n

France forward Mateta, who has been nursing a knee issue, had an initial medical examination on Sunday followed by additional tests on Monday.<\/p>\n

The Italian club have now pulled out of the \u00a330m deal for the 28-year-old, who wants to leave Selhurst Park.<\/p>\n

Palace had been unwilling to let him go without having a replacement, but agreed a deal for Strand Larsen<\/a> and granted Mateta permission to have an initial medical in London before flying to Milan.<\/p>\n

Nottingham Forest<\/a> have also been interested in the striker and had a \u00a335m bid rejected by Palace last weekend.<\/p>\n

After the 1-1 draw at Forest on Sunday, Palace manager Oliver Glasner said: “I expect either Mateta or someone else here as a striker.<\/p>\n

“Everybody is really working very hard, but it is so close to the end of the window, so it makes it more difficult. I always try to be positive, so I hope.<\/p>\n

“Worst case, we sell Mateta and no-one comes in, then it’s not a good window for Palace.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Crystal Palace striker Jean-Philippe Mateta’s move to AC Milan has been called off because of issues with his…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":277281,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[61,60,112],"class_list":{"0":"post-277280","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-sports","8":"tag-ie","9":"tag-ireland","10":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/277280","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=277280"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/277280\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/277281"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=277280"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=277280"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=277280"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
