Arsene Wengers view on the reasoning of the much talked about transfer of Chelsea selling Spanish playmaker Juan Mata to Manchester United, a direct rival for a fee to be believed around the 37,000,000 is simply a “financial reason”. Wenger went on to say “Its the first time ive come to that conclusion with Chelsea and means somethings changed with their philosophy, they reportedly lost 50million last year, if they get 37million for Mata and 18million for Kevin De Bruyne, then they are wanting to get into line for the financial fair play.”
With the comparisons being made between this deal and Arsenal selling Van Persie to United in 2012 Wenger said ” Our situation then was more understandable than this of Mata’s, Robin was 29 and had played here for a long time.”
