Mansion Sports – Several reports from various Italian media outlets state that AC Milan will send the club doctor to London on Monday to assess the condition of Jean-Philippe Mateta.

This step is being taken after the striker was reported to have shown indications of knee problems during his medical examination with the Rossoneri.

This situation has raised concerns among Milan’s management, considering Mateta’s substantial transfer value and the approaching transfer window deadline.

Therefore, the club wants to ensure the player’s condition before making a final decision.

Milan’s Position Following Concerns in Mateta’s Medical Examination

According to reports from several prominent Italian journalists, such as Gianluca Di Marzio, Daniele Longo, and Orazio Accomando, AC Milan still hopes to sign Mateta before the transfer deadline on Monday. However, the club is still evaluating the developing situation.

Several reports state that Milan will send the club doctor to England on Monday morning to conduct a direct examination of the player’s condition.

This step is taken in order to obtain a more accurate medical assessment before finalizing the agreement.

AC Milan is known to have reached an agreement with Crystal Palace regarding a transfer fee exceeding 30 million euros.

The South London club has also granted Mateta permission to undergo a medical examination in Milan after successfully securing a replacement, namely Jorgen Strand Larsen from Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Mateta began his medical examination process in London on Sunday. However, based on the latest updates, concerns have emerged regarding potential knee problems during the examination.

This condition has led Milan to adopt a more cautious approach, considering the significant investment required to sign the player.

Milan’s Similar Experience with the Victor Boniface Case

The situation faced by Milan in the Mateta transfer process is reminiscent of a similar experience during the previous summer transfer window. At that time, the Rossoneri had nearly signed Victor Boniface from Germany.

The Nigeria national team striker traveled to Italy to undergo a medical examination. However, after a thorough assessment, Milan identified concerns regarding his medical history. As a result, Boniface was asked to return to Germany, and the transfer was cancelled.

That experience has made Milan more cautious in handling the Mateta case. The club does not want to take major risks without ensuring that the player’s physical condition is truly suitable for long-term competition.

Final Decision Expected to Be Made on Monday

AC Milan and Jean-Philippe Mateta are expected to reach a final decision on Monday.

The results of the further examination by the club doctor will be the main factor in determining whether the transfer will proceed or be cancelled.

With time becoming increasingly limited before the transfer window closes, Milan is facing an important situation that requires careful consideration.

This decision will not only affect the team’s plans for the current season but also the club’s financial stability and long-term strategy.
