With Chelsea resuming training today, all eyes were naturally going to be on the work put in by Juan Mata. Did he smile? Did he hug Jose Mourinho? Say goodbye to all of his friends? Tonight’s headline would write themselves based on how one interpreted his actions.
The headline writers won’t have a difficult day today, though, as Juan Mata was reportedly nowhere to be seen*. The Mail are reporting that his advisors have flown to London as well, and that we’re getting to the point where Mata to Manchester United could be a done deal soon.
I suppose we’ll be expecting some comments from either Mourinho or David Moyes at some point relatively soon, though with Moyes we’ll likely have to wait until after United’s League Cup game. This is starting to look like an actual thing though, and it will be a sad day for all Blues fans if Mata leaves for a rival.
