JOSE Mourinho’s Chelsea have rejected an offer from Liverpool to take Juan Mata to Anfield on loan, according to talkSPORT.
Mata’s future at Stamford Bridge has been cast into doubt following the arrival of Mourinho, who has taken charge of Chelsea for the second time.
The seemingly imminent arrival of £30 million rated playmaker Willian from Anzhi Makhachkala has added more fuel to the fire of speculation swirling around Mata’s future at the club.
The 25 year old’s first team opportunities are looking more limited, especially if Willian does make the move, and Mata has already been attracting interest, namely from fellow London side Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool.
However, Spurs are not known to have made an offer, and Liverpool are still the only Premiership side who have made an approach for the former Valencia man. The Reds were hopeful of taking the World Cup winner to Anfield on a loan, though Chelsea wasted no time in rejecting the offer.
Chelsea have claimed that the Portuguese manager is looking at the Spaniard as a part of his new-look squad, despite Mata being an unused substitute in Chelsea’s goalless draw against David Moyes’ Manchester United side at Old Trafford.

Come on FSG buy him out right look now Allen toure Cissokho all injured . Buy torres mata Sakho come on.
this is the marquee signing if Brendan and FSG are still looking for now. buying Mata will free Coutinho to play the playmaker role. Mata will definitely raise the performance standard by a few notches. Mata really in the market? What is Liverpool waiting for? you can’t hope for a bargain to buy players of Mata’s class.
Mata will be a good singing or even loan to buy.we acctually only need fire power coz we want goals.why always wanna go for midfielders and we have a lot.get rid of lucas,allen,johnson for *sake!!!
i dont think chelsea would sell or even loan him out.
Liverpool fc manager and its owner are so lazy… They cant sign highly rated player… Please sign Juan Mata,Wayne Rooney,Mamadou Sakho and Mats Hummels to stregthen the team… We need to reclaim the glory
wayne rooney. lmfao. who are you people?
Was thinking the same thing. Crazy guy. LOL
Definitely he would be a good addition to Liverpool team. This lad got lots of experience. The problem is can Liverpool afford his salary ?
why wldnt they afford his salary? How much is gerrard and suarez aining……beside chelea wld pay part of his wage bill or even if they wldnt pay part of it….then lfc can still pay it in as much he wld deliver
vmata or chelsea mgt or mourinho isnt de problm,its fsg,they wil just submit a bid of an average player and expect chelsea to give in for such hgh profile player.in all this transfer missing,i pity rogers for coming to lfc at the wrngtime when kd already finishd the douh.
I will be so glad to see mata in liverpool shirt but fsg are not ready to buy they just think that those average players can do it
I so have to agree, mata for LFC would be awsome. I watched him play last season and I thought chelsea where lucky to have him there player of the season.
To have his experience, touch control and link up play with our team would raise the Bar at our club. Something that Victor Mose couldn’t do. LFC 4 LIFE!
come on fsg and rogers get mata after last night against notts county it shows we need someone like him
fsg are not here for glory,but for there own profit,there can not do that kind of business for us to be happy.
What if Gerard and coutinho will get injured … ? Looking at the squad against notts co.. No chance for the fourth place…
Mata, Torres,Moses and Ba look like lost souls at S.Bridge since the so called Special One took charge. He is so arogantly we to the extend claiming Liverpool cant afford the fee and the salary. I have been behind BR and FSG all the while but this kind of redicule and belittlement of my beloved club is unforgivable. Get Mata and shut that arogant b#%*@+* ‘s mouth. He cant even win a CL trophy with Chelsea and RM and he talks like a achieved everything.
This is just a rumour. Never going to happen
I can guarantee u that we have our sights on someone a lot cheaper than Mata
i we need to get mata on board its good for the club and the player.
