Mateta is also being eyed by Al-Hilal, but it is unclear exactly how much he would cost. The forward signed a new contract in December of 2024, meaning the south London club have plenty of negotiating power. Milan are also interested in Chelsea's Nicolas Jackson.

Mateta may have enjoyed a prolific Premier League campaign but, amazingly, he failed to score in five FA Cup games, including the final, as Oliver Glasner's side won the competition.
