Valencia striker Juan Mata linked with EPL move, Manchester United eye Brazilian youngster Adryan
Juan Mata linked with English Premier League move
Juan Mata, the Valencia striker, has been linked with a move to the English Premier League with top sides like Manchester United and Manchester City leading the chase. The 22-year-old Spain striker is worth an estimated £25 million and could be making the
move in the upcoming summer transfer window.
However, Valencia are determined to keep a hold of the extremely talented striker, having lost http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/David-Villa-c10629 earlier on. Club president Manuel Llorente revealed he wished to retain the services of the Spaniard, and said while speaking to reporters,
“The kid is un-negotiable because he is a key man in our project.”
The player’s agent and father denied either of the Manchester clubs having made a move for the player. He confirmed in a statement, “I have not had any contact with City.” However, he revealed a move could be possible if the La Liga side were offered the
right price for the striker.
He continued, “We have just renewed the contract here at http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Valencia-c40863 for three more years and we are really happy here. It is the club who will make the decision if they consider it necessary, but remember they are also looking for new players, they are not
just a selling club.”
The Spaniard moved from Real Madrid in 2007 after he failed to secure a place in the first team with the La Liga giants. Since his arrival at Valencia, he has been a regular with them, scoring 6 goals in 34 appearances so far this season.
He is an extremely intelligent player who reads the game well and strikes when his side needs it the most. He found the back of the net against Sporting de Gijon and Sevilla in a home game to guarantee his side third place in the table, behind http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38605
and Real Madrid.
Adryan invited to train at Old Trafford
English Premier League giants Manchester United have invited Brazilian youngster Adryan to train at Old Trafford with the rest of the United squad. The Brazil under-17 international has been very impressive for his national side in the South American under-17
championship, managing to score in both of his side’s fixtures.
Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has been keeping an eye on the youngster and has invited the player to train with his squad. The United boss is hoping to sign Adryan on a more permanent basis after determining whether or not the Brazilian attacking
midfielder has the potential to join the Red Devils. Ferguson can prepare for serious competition from Real Madrid, who are thought to be interested in the player as well.
However, United will only be able to sign the player after his 18th birthday, which means he will only be able to play for the Premier League giants next year. His situation is similar to that of 17-year-old http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lucas-c22528 Piazon who signed with rivals
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 but will not be able to play until January, next year. According to the Brazilian football rules, a player cannot register abroad until he is 18.
