Mateta's impressive form has caught the attention of top clubs, including Liverpool, who are looking to strengthen their squad. The Premier League champions have already contacted the striker's representatives, sparking speculation about a possible move.

Crystal Palace initially signed Mateta on loan before making the deal permanent in January 2022, reportedly spending around €14.5 million. If Liverpool were to acquire him, it's estimated that they could purchase him for around €50-60 million, which would be a significant profit for the Eagles.

This potential transfer would be a notable one, as no player has ever joined Liverpool permanently from Crystal Palace. In fact, since 2000, all loans between the two clubs have gone in the opposite direction.

Former Liverpool player Jamie Carragher has praised Mateta's skills, saying that his impressive form makes it no surprise that top clubs are interested in him. "He's a brilliant finisher and a real goal getter," Carragher said. "I think he's a really good player."

With Mateta's contract set to expire in 2027, Liverpool may see this as an opportunity to strengthen their squad and make a significant move in the transfer market.
