Juventus plan Mata swoop

By Football Italia staff

More reports are surfacing that Juventus could take Chelsea man Juan Mata on loan in January.

These rumours had already emerged over the last few months, but today the Sunday People newspaper added more fuel to the fire.

Mata is said to be increasingly worried that a lack of playing time at Stamford Bridge might cost him his place with Spain at the World Cup.

Juve are the hot favourites, though Atletico Madrid are also in the running.

Jose Mourinho has repeatedly benched the 25-year-old playmaker.
