ESPN: Milan and Inter both keen on Man Utd playmaker who would welcome Italy move

AC Milan and Inter are both interested in signing Manchester United playmaker Juan Mata on a free transfer, according to a report.

ESPN (via MilanLive) report that the 33-year-old has a market in Spain but the idea of ​​returning to his homeland is not a priority for him, who would instead prefer to try another experience in a top five European league.

Mata is waiting for formal offers to arrive before deciding on his future but his intention is to remain playing in the biggest games and that is why both Milanese clubs are interested in potentially offering him a contract.

The Rossoneri are looking for a player who would guarantee an upgrade in technical ability in the attacking department and while Elliott Management tend to prefer the signing of younger players, the chance to sign Mata on a free transfer – like the arrivals of Kjaer, Giroud and Ibrahimovic – could be too good to turn down.
