Bye bye Fellow Chelsea. I am Red Now! Mata moving on after Manchester United makes Chelsea an offer it couldn't refuse

Mata moving on after Manchester United makes Chelsea an offer it couldn't refuse


Chelsea has accepted a £37 million ($69 million) bid for Juan Mata and immediately released the Spain international to join Manchester United to complete the most dramatic deal of the transfer window.

Mata will undergo a medical on Thursday at United before completing the move that will see him more than double his £70,000-a-week ($130,500) Chelsea salary at Old Trafford.

United chose a slightly unusual route to lodge its bid, using intermediaries, but Chelsea has accepted the offer as an official one and manager Jose Mourinho has sanctioned the move.

Mata, Chelsea's player of the year for the past two seasons, has not had to ask to leave with Mourinho accepting that the scale of United's offer is too big to refuse given his priorities in strengthening his team lie elsewhere.


 
The bid is at a level that it will have been deemed impossible to turn down by the Chelsea board.
Mourinho stipulated that the move had to happen quickly so he could possibly reinvest ahead of the window closing on January 31.

There were indications on Wednesday that Chelsea might attempt to hijack Liverpool's £7 million move for Basle winger Mohamed Salah.

Lakini vijana hao wa Mancini badala ya kuinza kampeni yao kwa ushindi walijikuta wakiachwa nyuma na kuwaangalia Madrid wakiibuka na ushindi baada ya Karim Benzema kusawazisha na kisha Cristiano Ronaldo kufunga goli la tatu na la ushindi, goli lililomfanya bosi wao Jose Mourinho kuslide uwanjani akishangilia goli hilo na Ronaldo. This was the real happiness now from Ronaldo BBC football pundit Robbie Savage alikuwa uwanjani huku Bernabeu. (quoting from BBC SPORTS) "Maicon was not at the races at all in the first half at right-back. He was a passenger and it was like City were playing with 10 men. Cristiano Ronaldo kept coming inside him. "In the second-half, Vincent Kompany looked at what was happening and came across to that wing more. Ronaldo did not...
