Vivell’s five-man striker shortlist has been revealed, and Manchester United’s interest in Jean-Philippe Mateta has been confirmed by insiders.

 is able to uncover the sum that the Eagles would expect for a sale of Crystal Palace star Jean-Phillipe Mateta, as well as the player’s opinion on the possibility of a transfer to Manchester United. Mateta is one of four strikers that Manchester United has shortlisted in addition to Mateta.

During the current season, the French international has been doing really well for the Eagles. He has scored 12 goals and provided two assists in the Premier League, which has attracted the attention of a number of other teams.

Due to the fact that Mateta is under contract with Palace until the year 2027, the London club is in a rather advantageous situation. The desire that Oliver Glasner has to maintain his grasp on him for as long as feasible is quite understandable.

A new striker is the most important player that Manchester United wants to acquire during the summer, and the technical director, Jason Wilcox, and the head of recruitment, Christopher Vivell, have already started compiling a list of potential targets.

Vivell and Wilcox are now conducting research on a number of names, and Mateta is one of the names that they are analysing. However, the interest is still in its early phases, and it is still very much an internal process. They are aware of his condition, but it is still in its early beginnings. Crystal Palace is going to make a demand for more than sixty million pounds for Jean-Phillipe Mateta.
There is a degree of similarity between the strikers that Manchester United is interested in signing. They are either looking for players who have already established themselves in the Premier League or players who they believe have the potential to instantly transition into the league.

Mateta is an example of someone who fits into that category; nonetheless, Palace will not grant its star striker permission to depart on the cheap, if at all.

Mateta is reportedly on the shortlist alongside Victor Osimhen and Viktor Gyokeres, despite the fact that deals for the two players would be financially challenging and there is no assurance whatsoever that the club will move for either of them. Viktor Gyokeres is also on the list. Benjamin Sesko, who Manchester United, Arsenal, and Chelsea all attempted to acquire during the summer of 2017, is still a target for the club.

A conversation has taken place over Liam Delap, who continues to be a primary target for Chelsea, as well as maybe Tottenham and Newcastle. The difficulty that Manchester United must face is that many of the names on their list want to play in European football and come with high salaries and fees, which means that they will need to make significant outgoings. TEAMtalk has been informed that Palace’s demands would really be greater than sixty million pounds, despite the fact that some reports have stated that the 27-year-old might be available for forty million pounds this summer.

This brings Mateta’s value to a level that is comparable to that of Osimhen and Gyokeres, both of whom might be available for approximately €75 million (£63 million, $83) this summer, despite the fact that his salary would be lower.

Man United is unable to pre-agree to agreements of this magnitude, and the success of the deal will depend on them removing players from their roster first.

All things considered, the Red Devils are in for a hectic summer that will be difficult in many respects. This summer will be even more challenging for them if they do not qualify for Europe. As part of their efforts to construct a squad that is compatible with Ruben Amorim’s philosophy, they need to improve in a number of different areas; nonetheless, acquiring a new striker is their top goal.
