£50k p/w Crystal Palace star offered to Fenerbahce

Crystal Palace striker Jean-Philippe Mateta has been offered to Turkish giants Fenerbahce, according to reports.

Mateta enjoyed impressive form under Oliver Glasner at the end of last season, scoring 13 goals in his last 13 Premier League appearances of the campaign.

This season has been more difficult for the Frenchman, who has scored just three goals in 12 La Liga appearances, although that record extends to five goals in 15 in all competitions.

Try it he made no secret of the fact that there was interest in his services over the summer, with Palace ultimately unwilling to sell because they had already allowed Michael Olise to move to Bayern Munich.

More recently, Liverpool have been heavily linked with the signature of the Olympic silver medalist.

Jean-Philippe Mateta offered to Fenerbahce

Mateta currently earns £50,000-a-week at Selhurst Park, according to reports capologyplacing him well below the club’s top earners such as Daichi Kamada (£105,000 per week), Eberechi Eze and Dean Henderson (both £100,000 per week).

The forward is understood to be asking for a pay rise to reflect his form over the past year. However, in an interesting twist, reports are now emerging that Mateta has been offered to Super Lig powerhouse Fenerbahce.

According to Sabah (via We are Palau), an unknown source — presumably the player’s agent — has sent Mateta to Jose Mourinho’s squad as a potential replacement for former Man City striker Edin Dzeko.

Fenerbahce are currently second in the Super Llig table, five points behind arch-rivals Galatasaray, who boast a star-studded attack that includes Victor Osimhen, Dries Mertens and Baris Yilmaz.

It would come as no surprise if the Yellow Canaries make a statement signing in the summer in an attempt to keep pace with their counterparts in Istanbul. With Mateta about to enter the final 18 months of his contract, it would be interesting to see how Palace handle any negotiations.
