Valencia have announced that Chelsea have agreed a “preliminary deal” with the Blues over the sale of Juan Mata.
The Spaniard had been heavily linked with a move to the Premiership all summer, with Liverpool, Arsenal and Tottenham amongst those chasing his signature.
However, it is Chelsea who have won the race to sign the highly rated 23-year old. Valencia have now confirmed on their official website that they have agreed a deal with the Londoners:
“we have reached a preliminary deal with Chelsea FC for the transfer of the football player Juan Manuel Mata.”
A fee has yet to be disclosed but Spanish media speculate the deal is worth around £25million.
