# Juan Mata linked with Barcelona switch

Manchester United midfielder Juan Mata has been linked with a move away from the club to Barcelona, according to reports.

Bleacher Report Journalist Dean Jones reports that talks are ongoing between both clubs on a potential move to the Nou Camp for Mata, with progress being made.

Mata only has a year to run on his deal at Manchester United, and these talks could suggest his time at Old Trafford has come to an end.

Reports suggest that Mata could be a replacement for long time Barcelona servant Andres Iniesta, who left the Catalan giants for a move to Japan this Summer.

This is not the first time that Mata has been linked with Barcelona, but Iniesta’s departure could mean that Mata could finally leave Manchester United.
