AC Milan is poised to finalize a significant transfer just ahead of the World Cup kickoff. French striker Jean-Philippe Mateta is nearing completion of his move to the Rossoneri, ready to wear the club’s iconic red-and-black jersey.
Negotiations between both parties have reportedly reached the final stages, with the official paperwork and contract signing expected to be concluded before the World Cup begins. The decision to join Milan was significantly influenced by Mateta’s desire to reunite with his mentor, Oliver Glasner, who is also anticipated to be appointed as the head coach of the club.
During the current season, Mateta has made 50 appearances for his London club, scoring 16 goals and providing 3 assists. His market value is estimated at €30 million.
