Manchester United is closing in on a deal to sign Juan Mata from Chelsea after the playmaker missed training on WednesdayAFP reports.
Mata
was absent from the Blues first-team training session in the morning as
the clubs hold talks over a £40m deal for the Spain international.
The
25-year-old’s representatives are in England and United hopes to agree a
deal in the next few days as David Moyes looks to strengthen his
midfield and boost his side’s chances of qualifying for next season’s
Champions League.
Mata
is desperate for regular football having found himself out of favour at
Chelsea this season, starting just 11 of Chelsea’s 22 Premier League
matches.
Chelsea
initially
demanded £45m to sell Mata to a domestic rival but the club is prepared
to accept an offer worth around £40m for a player who cost £23.5m when
he signed from Valencia in 2011.
A
deal for Mata could also improve relations between the clubs as Chelsea
continues with its attempts to sign United striker Wayne Rooney.
Mata
is keen on a move to Old Trafford to boost his chances of playing for
Spain at next summer’s World Cup, and the Premier League champion can
offer a significant increase on his £70,000-a-week
salary.
