But Jaw aren't Chelsea now in a bind, as the only other teams they could sell to, ones with deep pockets already have players of equal value, and quality as Mata in their sides. So PSG, Real, Monaco, a.n.other Italian team? who would they shove to the margins to fit him in?.
Barcelona might be interested for starters, project Cesc is not working out that well for them and he fits their profile perfectly. Don't rule out the 2 German teams either, plenty of cash there. As for Italy, the cash is simply not there.
Would Man Utd stump up the cash for a proven creative player in the center? Is Mata even worth £50m.
It'd be be his market price, personally I don't think anyone in the world is worth that sort of money, unless they cure all known diseases and get world peace of some sort. £50m would be about his market value and a realistic valuation but it'd cost Man Utd more than £50m unless throw Rooney into the mix. I don't want to lose Mata. No idea what Mourinho wants though.
