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.

We asked you what still needs to happen before the transfer window closes at 19:00 GMT on Monday.
Here are some of your comments:
Dan: It would be nice to sign someone that can shoot from distance or take set pieces. Anyone who isn't willing to play for us in the Championship to rectify the mess this season can leave.
Simon: Poor window, club too greedy to sell a few players as holding out for a fee they would have got last summer and not accepting some loss due to certain relegation. If we get to the summer window and they are still unrealistic in player valuations following relegation then we know nothing behind the scenes has improved. Getting Angel in is just a token signing to say they got someone in, after sending out our most industrious midfielder on loan. Still feels like Bozo the clown is pulling the strings at this club.
Gaz: Why don't we go for Jamie Vardy? He doesn't need to even look where the goal is to score whereas our strikers look at the goal and still can't score. He is still class at any age.
Paul: 11 new players, a whole heap of luck, and new owners. Not too much to ask for is it?
Dave: All positions need to be strengthened but who will come to us knowing we are already relegated & struggling with division two ready & waiting for us? Talk about a club in terminal decline - we are it with greedy owners & management.

Wolves close in on £7m Armstrongpublished at 15:21 GMT 1 February

Wolves are close to agreeing a deal for Southampton striker Adam Armstrong for an initial £7m - as forward Jorgen Strand Larsen moves closer to joining Crystal Palace.
There is a growing confidence the move will get done as Wolves build for an expected relegation to the Championship.
The 28-year-old has 11 goals for Saints in the Championship this season, contributing to a tally of 43 for the club since joining from Blackburn in 2021.
Bryce: Fosun has managed to assemble a Championship-level squad with Premier League money a year too early. Utter shambles. It's not the players fault. Most are playing a league higher than they should be- and those with the quality have been AWOL too often. You aren't bottom because you're unlucky - not by the distance we are.
George: Wolves had more chances, but scored no goals; Bournemouth had fewer chances, but got two goals. Just not good enough.
Frank: Wolves' basics are there. We will get relegated but we must fight until it's a mathematical certainty. We have the manager and players working in harmony to virtually guarantee promotion from a notoriously difficult league to get promotion from. We MUST hang on to the manager and playing staff. Without that, I can only foresee Wolves in the wilderness.
Glyn: Just when I thought we were beginning to turn the corner to some degree and could have possible got three points against a depleted Bournemouth team. Awful is only way I can describe it. The first goal came from a woeful pass on the edge of the 18-yard box - and couple this with a host of missed opportunities in front of goal, most of which my 10-year-old grandson could have put away. I feel we have descended to a new performance level after what has been an encouraging run of late. I can't wait for this nightmare to end!
Bournemouth fans
Dave: What a relief! Such exciting football. Well done, Cherries! We are on our way again. We've got a squad full of top-flight players and the greatest manager. Up the Cherries!
Malcolm: A workman-like performance against a decent Wolves team. Rayan looked so composed coming on as sub - have we unearthed another gem? Super strike from Kroupi, who I predict to be our top goal scorer this season.
Clive: Kroupi not even mentioned as a youngster to follow at the beginning of the season - what a stunning strike! Clawing our way up the table. One more signing, and return of the injured, and the possibilities are endless!
Matt: A long journey up to watch the match was rewarded with a battling performance to get the win. Kroupi is a real gem. Some great saves from Petrovic and good to see Rayan - the Beast from Brazil - getting his debut and creating the second.

As bleak as the immediate future looks for Wolves, a glimmer of hope has revealed itself in recent weeks.
The impact of 18 year-old Mateus Mane was demonstrated again against Bournemouth, where he tirelessly strived to dictate the game and give Wolves a chance.
His conduct off the field offered further evidence of the potential. He was the Wolves player assigned to pre-match TV duties, so I got a chance to chat with him.
Mane demonstrated the same maturity and authority in that interview as in the eye-catching performances since his debut in December.
There was no evidence that rave reviews have distracted him, instead just talk of staying "humble", working hard and continuing to seize an opportunity that's presented itself in difficult circumstances.
Wolves have unearthed a gem they will be desperate to hold on to.
Wolves 0-2 Bournemouth: What Edwards saidpublished at 17:38 GMT 31 January

Wolves manager Rob Edwards speaking to BBC Match Of The Day: "I think it's pretty clear. I was delighted with the way we started the game, it was very good and we got the goal but it was offside.
"I thought we looked really good with the ball, we looked threatening but then we started being loose with the ball and we gave some passes away.
"In the last bit of the first-half, we caused ourselves problems and we tried to adjust that at half-time but I did think it was one-way traffic in the second-half. If we'd taken those chances I would have been talking about a different game."
On the lack of goals for his team: "Scoring goals has been a problem. Without putting the ball in for the lads, I can't do anything about that. We created chances today and the performance was good, the second half was very good.
"We have to fight until the end of the 38th game and we will do that. We are improving and we are getting better. That was a very good game in chunks of today."

Wolves were powerless to resist Manchester City last Saturday, but they had shown enough promise in recent games to suggest they could trouble a Bournemouth side who had won only once on their travels all season.
Manager Rob Edwards had called on his players to match the Cherries' trademark intensity, and his side certainly started the game on the front foot.
Rodrigo Gomes was a livewire down the right but, with Jorgen Strand Larsen once again watching on from the bench, the hosts lacked a focal point in attack - despite the considerable endeavours of Tolu Arokodare.
Mateus Mane was unfortunate to have his early header ruled out but the 18-year-old otherwise failed to properly trouble Djordje Petrovic, sending two long-range efforts straight at the Cherries keeper.
The hosts could - and maybe should - have salvaged a draw in the second half as Strand Larsen dragged a shot wide and Joao Gomes nodded a Hugo Bueno corner against the outside of the post.
But they were unable to find a way through and Alex Scott settled Bournemouth's nerves in added time to clinch all three points for the visitors.

Jorgen Strand Larsen is named on the bench once again as Rob Edwards makes three changes to the Wolves team that started last weekend's defeat at Manchester City.
Rodrigo Gomes, Emmanuel Agbadou and Tolu Arokodare come in, replacing Jackson Tchatchoua, Jhon Arias and Ladislav Krejci, who misses out through injury.

Sutton's predictions: Wolves v Bournemouthpublished at 11:10 GMT 31 January
11:10 GMT 31 January
Wolves did not crumble after conceding an early goal at Manchester City last week but they never really looked like getting back into the game.
They are just playing for pride now, which is a terrible position to be in for any footballer, but at least they are showing a bit of fight despite basically being relegated already.
Bournemouth got that great late win over Liverpool last time out, but their away form is a concern - they have only won once all season, and that was in August.
Out of 11 teams to come to Molineux in the Premier League so far this season, eight have won and only one - West Ham - have lost.
I can see the points being shared this time because I always think the Cherries will score, but they usually concede too.
Wolverhampton Wanderers v Bournemouth: Key stats and talking pointspublished at 18:53 GMT 30 January
18:53 GMT 30 January
Chris Adams BBC Sport journalist
Even the most optimistic of Wolverhampton Wanderers fans would be hard pushed to make a case for their club's Premier League survival as they welcome Bournemouth to Molineux on Saturday.
Rooted to the bottom of the table since early September, Wolves' five-game unbeaten run in all competitions came to an unsurprising end against Manchester City last week, meaning they find themselves 18 points shy of safety, with just one win all season.
New Mane in town
Clearly it is too soon to ask teenager Mateus Mane to fill the boots of summer departure Matheus Cunha, but two goals in his first six career starts mark a promising breakthrough for the 18-year-old, who is also – worryingly – the club's joint top league scorer.
Wolves have netted a paltry 15 league goals all season, the fewest in the competition by some margin. They've also shipped 43, flitting between two goalkeepers in Sam Johnstone and current first-choice Jose Sa, who has been linked with a move to fellow strugglers Nottingham Forest.
Wolves are particularly susceptible to conceding goals from outside the box, recording a league-high nine.
The appointment of their former defender Rob Edwards as head coach in November has led to some improvement, though. Between May and December, Wolves conceded in all 11 of their league home games, conceding 26 goals in total. They've since kept a clean sheet in their last two at Molineux.
Ton up for Iraola
Injury-hit Bournemouth are looking to continue their recent resurgence in what will be head coach Andoni Iraola's 100th Premier League match in charge of the Cherries.
Ahead of that landmark, the Spaniard's win percentage of 35.4% ranks as comfortably the best among the club's four top-flight bosses.
Iraola admitted his side's stoppage-time winner against Liverpool last week is "probably the best goal to score". It secured a second victory in three league games - as many as they had won in their previous 16 matches - as they adjust to life without Antoine Semenyo.
To that end, this week they have signed Brazil under-20 forward Rayan from Vasco da Gama in a deal worth an initial £24.7m, while Greek goalkeeper Christos Mandas has made a loan switch from Lazio.
Amine Adli's scrappy clincher against Liverpool came from a long throw, but Iraola's men will be wary of such weapons. They have conceded a league-high 17 goals from set pieces, excluding penalties.
The Dorset club sit 13th in the table and could be higher but for an uninspiring away record. They've no wins in their last nine games away from the Vitality Stadium, with the Cherries' sole victory on the road this season coming at Spurs back in August.
That run means Bournemouth – who are currently without eight first-team players – have picked up 73% of their points this season at home; only Leeds United (76%) have a higher proportion.
