Juan Mata
Chelsea
have accepted a £37million bid for Juan Mata and immediately released the
Spanish 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 Chelsea salary at Old
Trafford.
Chelsea have been braced for a bid since Monday for Mata and finally received
the offer triggering their acceptance and the release of the player.
The Premier League club are not expecting the 25-year-old to return to them
and have already made plans for his replacements. A medical has been booked
in for Thursday for Mata and personal terms accepted.
United chose a slightly unusual route to lodge their bid, using
intermediaries, but Chelsea have accepted the offer as an official one and
manager Jose Mourinho has sanctioned the move.
