"It seemed that Milan had timed their run for Mateta perfectly. Arriving in the final days of the window, the Rossoneri turned up at the right moment and moved things quickly across. At one stage, it seemed like it would only be a matter of time before he signed on the dotted line. However, the situation changed quickly and the Frenchman's move became a doubt."
"Milan did not arrive at Mateta's signatures because, after the first part of medical examinations, they saw that there was a problem with his knees. One knee is more fragile than the other and could have created problems in the not-too-distant future. They told me that Mateta could not train regularly every day and would struggle to play more than one game a week. After the second part of the visits, Milan decided to block everything a few hours before the closing of the market."
AC Milan withdrew from the planned signing of Jean-Philippe Mateta in the final hours of the mercato after a knee issue surfaced during a London medical. Initial examinations prompted further checks that showed one knee was more fragile and could cause problems in the near future. Medical findings indicated Mateta would struggle to train regularly and might only manage one match per week. The club therefore blocked the deal a few hours before the market closed despite the transfer appearing close to completion.
