Liverpool Plan £16.5m Swoop For Valencia Winger Juan Mata
Rafael Benitez may raid his former club for the 21-year-old starlet…
Liverpool have been linked with a £16.5 million move for Valencia winger Juan Mata in January, as ongoing concerns over the finances of the Spanish club may result in them being forced to sell the player.
Although the club's two main stars – the two Davids, Silva and Villa – have remained at Valencia, despite serious interest from many of Europe's biggest clubs, their sporting director Fernando Gomez hinted that lesser players may be sold to ease the financial burden.
Reds' manager Rafael Benitez is reportedly keen to raid his former club and is willing to splash as much as £16.5m to acquire the services of the 21-year-old Spain international.
Mata has a contract at the Mestalla until 2012 but is reported to be on £10,000-a-week wages – relatively low for a player of his stature.
The player's father, also his agent, told The Sun: "We want Valencia to recognise the kid's true quality, and it's not only a matter of money."
The youngster decided to play down the link with the Anfield outfit, explaining that football is the only thing on his mind at the moment.
"This matter is all down to the club and my agent," he said.
"Benitez is a big coach but I just want to concentrate on my game without any distractions." -
Liverpool has a couple of left wingers already leh. But this guy in FM very good. But never seen him play on tv before. Riera & Babel can sell away already right? Hahaha. Lousy. Aurelio has been good on left wing though.

LOL babel = flop = Juan Mata (who is this player anyway)AhBen likes to spend big and buy flops.

dun dream la ..... see and forget about this thing .
-
Juan Mata flop ?
Hey got see La Liga on TV ?
-
Hmmm... You got read correctly or not? No one said he is a flop, only the reference to someone some consider a flop was strange... lol
-
i hear he's not bad in spain and is one of the more under-rated players in valencia....i only hope that some sugar daddy comes along and buy liverpool...then we will have juan mata, david silva and david villa...lol..
-
I guess he should be an interesting player... an attacking winger... Maybe like a Spanish version of Villa's A Young?
-
he's good
but liverpool no money one
-
somemore i think if utd manage to get villa or silva
valencia wont want to lose this guy
-
Am disgusted by fellows who says a player is a flop when he himself is shallow and doesn't know the player's name.
Mata's good. Rafa has no money.
Fulham 3-1 Liverpool. FT! -
Liverpool have no money,
Not Ah Ben.
He will not be around next season.
-
the owners have no money to sack rafa, so they have to stay put with him for the next 4 years.
-
even if they have money, will you wanna come?
-
someone needs to get some perspective here man...
just because you haven't seen him play or haven't heard of him = flop?
-
mata is almost at the same level of villa and silva.
this trio is enough to win a gerrard torres combo.
-
if this fella comes, babel will cfm go...if silva comes the season after the next, we can oso sae bb to riera le coz' some younger player will take his place...
