Tuttosport: Glasner could help Milan sign mateta if he becomes coach

According to MilanNews.it, Mateta could re-enter Milan's transfer sights due to Glasner.

Rossoneri fans should remember what happened in the last days and hours of the winter transfer window. At that time, Milan had already secured French striker Mateta, who was originally a target for the summer window. The club had reached an agreement with Crystal Palace, preparing for him to join Allegri immediately. Just as everything seemed complete and the player was about to fly to Milan, the deal fell through because Milan was not confident enough about the player's knee condition. Now, Mateta might become a hot candidate again: Milan's management will change, and his coach Glasner is a main candidate for the Milan coaching position.

Currently, the most likely candidate to become Milan's new coach is Austrian coach Glasner. He has achieved excellent results coaching Crystal Palace for the past two and a half seasons, leading the team to win the club's first three championship trophies, including the first European trophy just a few days ago. If Cardinale and Ibra ultimately do invite Glasner, then Glasner might become key to Milan signing Mateta. Tuttosport proposed this idea this morning: Glasner is the coach who brought out Mateta's best career performance, and Milan's management will certainly be different from the group that halted the deal in the winter window, so this path is not entirely unfeasible.

Mateta's failure to join Milan in January might have been a turning point for the Rossoneri this season. The Frenchman ultimately did not undergo knee surgery, and he has since scored 6 goals, while Füllkrug has only scored 1 goal, the most important of which came in the Europa Conference League final; he was also called up by Deschamps to participate in the World Cup. It can be said that this has been a complete success for Mateta. Undoubtedly, Milan needs goals, which is one of the few things that can be confirmed at the moment: insufficient goals are the main reason for Milan's failure this year, and Mateta is generally a player who knows how to score. His price might also be lower than the 35 million euros in the winter window: the Frenchman's contract expires in 2027, and the transfer fee will certainly be lower. From all angles, this could be an opportunity for Milan.
