Leeds United 'most likely' destination for former Chelsea and Manchester United midfielder Juan Mata

Fresh reports from Spain state that a summer move to Leeds United is the most likely scenario for Juan Mata.

According to Marca, plenty of clubs are interested in Mata - including some MLS sides - but Leeds are in the strongest position as they are his priority. The former Chelsea and Manchester United playmaker wishes to stay in Europe.

A report in July from AS said that Mata is happy to take a big pay cut to join Leeds. At Manchester United, the 34-year-old was understood to have been on £160,000 a week, which is significantly out of the Whites' financial reach. However, the midfielder's entourage are reportedly keen to make a move to Leeds happen, and he may have to settle for at least 50 percent less than what he was earning at the Red Devils if he is to sign.
