Barcelona eyeing move for Juan Mata

The talented Spaniard starlet Alcantara is all set to leave the Catalan giants this summer after getting limited chances to impress under Tito Vilanova last term.Manchester United and Bayern Munich are expected to be the Spanish International's next destination. 

The La Liga giants are planning to account for the departure of the player by placing a move for Chelsea’s Juan Mata. Mata has been in sublime form for the West London side last season at Stamford Bridge.


The midfielder notched up 20 goals and provided 35 assists last season for the Blues. The Daily Star claims that the La Liga champions could have the Spaniard for a fee in the region of £30 million this summer as he is not part of Jose Mourinho’s plans.


It is predicted that the La Liga champions would make atleast £17m from the sale of Alcantara, but it would be a real shock if the Catalans manage to acquire the signature of Chelsea's Player of the year.
