Agent of Juan Mata reveals three different Barcelona approaches

Manchester United midfielder Juan Mata's agent and father Juan Manuel Mata Rodriguez has revealed three different Barcelona bids to sign the player. Last summer, Mata had the chance to leave Old Trafford on a free transfer. Agent reveals, Barcelona were one of the clubs linked with a move for the 31-year-old. However, Mata ended any speculation and signed a new deal with United. Mata’s current deal runs until the summer of 2021. Rodríguez has revealed to VIP Deportivo, via Sport Witness, just how many times Barcelona have chased his son’s signature. Juan Mata Sr said:“Indeed, as he is a player who has a DNA very similar to that [Barcelona’s style] football. I agree with the Spanish national team, with colleagues of that style, because there were three occasions to sign for Barcelona,” he said. “The first one was when he was at Valencia. Then when he was transferred to Chelsea, they also thought of Juan and there was a third one recently where there were also possibilities. However, in all of them, Juan was lucky that he was in big clubs. This did not give that circumstance [to leave] because, thank God, he was in very important clubs.” Source: Teamtalk
