Juan Mata is an incredible player who scored 14 goals for his club and is regarded as having the most assists in La Liga, only second to Barcelona’s Xavi Iniesta. Hodgson hopes to bid about 10m pounds and wants to use unsettled Dutch-man Ryan Babel as part of the deal. Babel would want to go beause he has not had much playing time since he arrived from Ajax FC in 2007.
Valencia would like the cash in order to pay off its hugh debt.
