No offers for Mata, says Mourinho

By

Jose Mourinho says Chelsea have not received an approach for Juan Mata.

There has been speculation about Mata’s future at Stamford Bridge given his struggle to hold down a first-team place since Mourinho’s return as Blues boss.

The Spaniard was clearly unhappy after being substituted during the New Year’s Day win at Southampton, prompting reports of interest from a number of clubs.

The likes of Tottenham, Manchester United and Arsenal have been linked with Mata as well as European clubs such as Paris St-German.

Mourinho said: “There isn’t any offer. We have no offers. I keep saying I want him to stay.”

Meanwhile, Mourinho has denied reports that Chelsea have had a £50m bid for Gonzalo Higuaín rejected by Napoli.
