Barcelona Looking to Snap Up Juan Mata From Manchester United on Free Deal This Summer

Barcelona are said to be eyeing up a move for Juan Mata this summer, as the Spaniard's current deal with Manchester United is set to expire at the end of the season.

Mata is now in the final six months of his current deal with United and, as he is yet to secure an extension, he is free to discuss terms with any sides outside of England. He is looking for a new two-year deal, but United are only willing to offer a 12 month extension.

According to The Sun, Barcelona are well aware of Mata's current situation and have already contacted the midfielder’s father and agent, Juan Sr.
