Real Madrid manager Santiago Solari has reportedly told his club to sign Manchester United midfielder Juan Mata by next summer.
Spanish outletEl Gol Digital (h/t James Walters of the Daily Express) reported the player will not sign a new deal to remain at Old Trafford when his contract expires at the end of the season. Los Blancos could then move for the Spain international as a free agent.
Mata has been hugely successful since moving to the Premier League in 2011, winning two FA Cups, two UEFA Europa Leagues and the UEFA Champions League during his spells with Chelsea and United.
