Mateta, 28, played a key role in the Eagles' FA Cup win last season, defeating Manchester City in the final. He has scored 36 goals in the past two seasons, making him a crucial part of the team's success. However, Mateta has hinted that he may leave the club in the coming years.

When asked if he would like to join an elite club that could provide him with Champions League football, Mateta told RMC Sport: "It's natural for ambitious players like me to want to take a step up. When you're surrounded by the best players in the world, it's only natural that you want to join them."

Mateta has already attracted interest from top clubs, including Liverpool, Tottenham, and Manchester United, who could offer him a better chance at European football. Despite this, Mateta remains committed to Palace and is focused on helping the team achieve its goals.

Mateta has scored four goals this season for Palace, which is looking to add to its trophy collection. He believes the team has a good squad and an excellent manager who is doing a great job. Mateta wants the team to progress and be more ambitious this season.

Mateta's comments suggest that he is open to exploring opportunities with other clubs, but he is also committed to Palace's ambitions and wants to help the team succeed.
