Crystal Palace striker Jean-Philippe Mateta's move to AC Milan is in serious doubt over issues with his medical, according to multiple BBC Sport sources.
The 28-year-old France forward had additional medical tests on Monday but the Italian side are set to pull out of the £30m deal.
Mateta, who has been nursing a knee issue, had an initial medical examination on Sunday.
The Eagles have agreed a £48m deal for Wolves forward Jorgen Strand Larsen and had granted Mateta permission to have a medical in London before flying to Milan.
Palace still intend to try to sign Strand Larsen.
Wolves, meanwhile, were moving to replace Strand Larsen and are close to reaching a deal for Southampton striker Adam Armstrong for an initial £7m.
There is growing confidence the move will be done with the Premiership's bottom club Wolves in danger of relegation to the Championship.
