Manchester United has a relatively large squad with 29 players. In winter, it could shrink a bit due to the departure of Juan Mata. For a move to Spain, the club would only have to give their player a little push.
–
Mata’s contract expires next summer. The Red Devils will no longer offer him a new contract, as he was only able to collect a little more than 150 minutes of action this season and was more often in the stands or on the bench than on the grass in the past two years. An early termination of the contract would therefore be in the interests of the club.
According to the English daily The Sun, two clubs, Real Sociedad and FC Barcelona, are interested in the 33-year-old. In the event of a change, Juan Mata would probably fight for a place in the starting XI with an ambitious team and would also be back home after more than ten years in England.
–
Sounds like perfect future prospects … But there is one problem: Juan Mata earns around ten million euros per season in Manchester. For an immediate move to Spain, he would have to expect a big cut in salary because neither Barça nor Real Sociedad are able to make big leaps.
–
For this reason, Mata might prefer to wait until summer and then disappear south with full pockets.
