Juan Mata wo✨uld be happy to join Leeds United this summer with the two parties in talks about a shock move to Elland Road, .

It does appear that the Whites are indeed keen to bring the 34-year-old in. Reports from Spain on Wednesday claimed that Victor Orta had made contact with the attacking mid♚fielder’s father and talks were ongoing.

has provided a further update on Leeds’ pursuit of the form𝐆er Spain internationaꦯl.

They report that talks are heading in the right direction, al🃏beit movi꧑ng slowly. And, perhaps crucially, Mata is prepared to make the move to Leeds in this window.

There is interest from elsewhere. Real Betis and Marseille are amongst the other clubs also keen on the player. Mata’s priority is to be playing in one of Europe’s to🌄p lea♒gues.

Leeds may make big statement should Juan Mata sign

There are likely to be plenty of Leeds fans who do not welcome the idea of signing Mat♚a. Obviously, his last club was Manchester United and he spent mꦅany years at Old Trafford.

He is also now well into the twilight of his career. Mat💛a also did not play much in a pretty woeful Manchester United side last🧸 season.

Hꦉowever, he has bags of experience at the very highest level. And he would arrive on a free transfer. He has won a raft of domestic honours during his career.

Of course, Lee🐈ds fans will judge the quality of their signings based on what they largely do on the pitch. But it does highlight the ambition the club has that they are targeting Mata.

And it p🥀erhaps highlights the potential that they have that Mata is open to signing.
