Atletico Madrid to make Juan Mata move?

Reigning La Liga champions Atletico Madrid are lining up a summer move for Manchester United's Spanish midfielder Juan Mata, according to reports.

The 26-year-old has been linked with a move away from Old Trafford this season, with Barcelona recently reported to be leading the chase for his signature.

However, Diego Simeone has now identified Mata as a transfer target, and is expected to test United's resolve to keep hold of the player, claims The Sun.

Mata joined the Red Devils from Chelsea in January last year for a fee of £37.1m, but has struggled to establish himself as a first-team regular under Louis van Gaal.
