After being heavily linked with Manchester United in the summer and now in the winter, it seems that Juan Mata's move will finally be completed in the coming days as the Spaniard is set to agree on a 4 year deal should Chelsea accept United's £40m bid for Mata.
Various English media outlets are reporting this story, including The Telegraph, The Mirror and The Times, a similar story has it that David Moyes was given the "green light" by Manchester United officials to break the club's record transfer fee if needed in order to sign Juan Mata.
However, the story is also being covered and supported by other European sources including Guillem Balague who revealed on Revista de La Liga: "Manchester United and Chelsea are negotiating the future of Juan Mata - and the idea is that Mata, who Chelsea are happy to let go, goes to Old Trafford in this transfer window."
Balague has also reported that all parties involved want the move to happen, especially Juan Mata himself.
"Chelsea are asking for £32 million or with Wayne Rooney as part of the deal. Manchester United have said no to the money and no to Rooney - but I am under the impression that a deal will be reached because it benefits everybody."
"Manchester United need quality, Mata needs to get out of the situation he is in, and it would reinforce United for their meetings with (Chelsea's title rivals) Manchester City and Arsenal, which is clever from Jose Mourinho."
Also, Sky Sources reported that talks between the two rivals are "progressing well' which came after it was understood that Chelsea wanted in excess of £35million for the midfielder.
All in all, one can be prepared for further progression in the talks between the two clubs and that a deal will be struck down soon.
