It’s understood that Palace are determined to secure at least £40 million for the striker who has become a key player under Oliver Glasner.

Mateta has two years remaining on his contract at Selhurst Park, but the report adds he is ‘far from settled’ after a summer of turmoil at the club.

As a result, negotiations over a new deal for the Frenchman have stalled and have been described as ‘unproductive.’
