Reports: Milan decide not to sign Mateta after medical in Paris – the details

AC Milan will not proceed with the signing of Jean-Philippe Mateta after undertaking further medical tests on his knees.

Heading into deadline day, we knew that a deal had been agreed between Milan and Crystal Palace after negotiations over the weekend. It was expected that the striker would pass a medical on the final day of the window and then fly out to Italy to sign, yet things then hit the buffers.

According to the latest from Sky, after the final medical checks carried out today in Paris, the negotiations between Mateta and Milan have definitively fallen through. The Frenchman therefore will not join the Rossoneri, as the doctors did not get sufficient guarantees.

Gianluca Di Marzio also reports that Milan have walked away from Mateta. It remains to be seen whether Juventus will try to make a move in the final hours of the transfer window, even if Matteo Moretto seemed to rule this out.
