Juan Mata’s future has been speculated in the media as well. Mourinho said few days back that the door is open for Mata, though later reiterated that he doesn’t want the Spaniard to leave. Likewise, the Italian press reported in the morning that Essien is a target of AC Milan. The Serie A giants are looking to sign him on loan, and could enter into negotiations within few weeks. The Portuguese confirmed that no official bids have been received for both the players. Plus, he would not loan them either.
Hazard was linked with PSG in the morning, but Mourinho feels his value in the market would be crazy having signed the Belgian for around £40million.
