Seeking to treat Crystal Palace a major blow, AC Milan would now have taken initial measures to sign a star of the Selhurst park this summer.
Crystal Palace could still lose Eze
Although they have at least managed to sign Walter Benitez and Borna Sosa, it’s just to say that Crystal Palace has endured a frustrating summer so far. And things could still get worse for those in southern London. Rumors continue to arrive at the future of Ebelechi Eze and the reports suggest that Chelsea and Arsenal both took the prospect of the talented striker.
His release would not be the only bad news either that Palace received this summer. The Eagles recently brought a blow when UEFA confirmed their relegation of the Europa League to the Europa conference league after the involvement of John Textor with Lyon and Palace has broken multi-club property rules.
Steve Parish has since had his say on the question, confirming that Palace will attract UEFA’s decision: “We are still fighting. There is a call process, so we go to case which is the arbitration court and, you know, we hope very much. We think we have excellent legal arguments.
“We do not think that it is the right decision. We know unequivocally that John did not have a decisive influence on the club. We know that we have proven that, beyond all reasonable doubts, because it is a fact.”

The Eagles are already preparing at the worst.
It remains to be seen whether UEFA’s decision will play a role in the immediate future of the players, but it seems that AC Milan is willing to put this theory to the test this summer.
AC Milan makes the first movements in Mateta Race
Although there are a lot of concerns about the future of Eze, another key players from Oliver Glasner could still go to the exit door. According to L’Equipe, AC Milan is now making initial movements to sign Jean-Philippe Mateta, which is open to the creation of a summer passage to Italian giants.
In the current state of things, however, the evaluation of French remains a major obstacle and a potential saving grace for Crystal Palace. The Italians would have been pushed by the requested price of Crystal Palace, which amounts to more than 30 million euros (26 million pounds sterling).
Alas, the Eagles’ request should not be a surprise for Milan or any other interested parties. The attacker of £ 50,000 per week experienced another excellent campaign the last time – scoring 17 goals in all competitions – and has won praise of Glasner.
The director of Crystal Palace told journalists: “We are not always talking about because he knows what we demand from him. With his two goals today, he is incredible in the box.
“He has the feeling that a new number must have in the box. He does so many shopping where he does not get the ball. You must suffer as an attacker because you do so many shopping where you do not get the ball. He gets the reward and that decides the game for us.”
