Controversial Crystal Palace shareholder John Textor wants to SELL top-scorer Jean-Philippe Mateta to his other team Sponsored by.
CRYSTAL PALACE hitman Jean-Philippe Mateta is an ambitious target for Lyon — in a controversial move planned by John Textor.
Yet Lyon may have to reach the Champions League to have a real chance of tempting Mateta, who has scored ten league goals so far this season.
Palace would look for at least £50million for Mateta and if he continues his form, there could be big Premier League interest.
But that will not go down well at Palace, where Textor is also a major shareholder — even if he is planning to sell his stake.
