DBasia.news – Inter Milan are reportedly back with an interest in Manchester United players. This time, La Beneamata, the Red Devils winger, Juan Mata, is the target.
Juan Mata’s contract will expire at the end of this season. Therefore, the former Chelsea player can leave on a free transfer.
According to The Sun’s report, Inter Milan is the team most attracted to Mata. In addition, there are also two other Italian clubs, namely AS Roma and Juventus.
For Inter, Mata is not the first Man United player they have fallen in love with. Previously, Inter had successfully signed three Red Devils players, namely Ashley Young, Alexis Sanchez, and Romelu Lukaku.
Indeed, Manchester United have the opportunity to keep Mata for one more season. As there is an option to extend his contract for one season.
However, seeing the current conditions, Manchester United has a great opportunity not to activate this option. Juan Mata is not the first choice for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. This season, he has only appeared in seven matches in the Premier League.
Solskjaer indicated that he would let Mata go
Meanwhile, Solskjaer has indicated that Mata will leave Man United at the end of the season. Solskjaer admires the professionalism that the midfielder has.
“I am not surprised that there are teams that are interested in him. First, he is a great footballer. Then, he is a professional and an extraordinary human being,” Solskjaer said of Mata’s contract as quoted by Goal.
“When his contract runs towards the end there will be interest. I’m sure Mata can talk to other clubs if he wants. I stay in touch with him all the time. We have good communication.”
Apart from Italy, interest in Juan Mata also came from the Middle East. It is also predicted that the player will not rule out a return to Spain.
