Mainz do not want to lose Mateta cheaply, and have publicly made it clear that he is going to stay via their Sporting Director.

In private, they admit that a bid worth between €35m and €40m for the 21-year-old would be enough to make them seriously consider the player’s departure.

In France, both Marseille and Monaco have made enquiries for a player under contract until 2022, with Mainz currently mulling over offering Mateta a new deal with a significant pay rise. The Bundesliga club are hoping to reach an agreement with the player over a new contract before he participates in the U21 EURO tournament and interest in his services becomes even stronger.
