# Crystal Palace: Fans react to Jean-Philippe Mateta update

**Crystal Palace are weighing up the future of on-loan forward Jean-Philippe Mateta, according to [TEAMtalk](https://www.teamtalk.com/news/exclusive-vieira-considering-ending-crystal-palace-loan-early).**

Their report on Wednesday led to a number of Eagles fans sharing their thoughts on social media.

[TEAMtalk](https://www.teamtalk.com/news/exclusive-vieira-considering-ending-crystal-palace-loan-early) claim that Patrick Vieira is considering ending Mateta’s loan early as he has other targets lined up.

The 24-year-old made the move to Selhurst Park back in [January](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/55725339) on an 18-month loan with the option to buy next summer.

Mateta, on [£32,000-a-week](https://salarysport.com/football/player/jean-philippe-mateta/) with parent club Mainz, has scored just [once in his seven](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jean-philippe-mateta/leistungsdaten/spieler/420002) competitive games as a Palace player.

Vieira has been [busy](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/crystal-palace/transfers/verein/873) when it comes to signings this summer but is yet to bring in a striker, and it appears as if Mateta’s future in London is up in the air.
