Liverpool, Man Utd pushing to convince Mata to leave Chelsea

With concerns over his place in Spain's World Cup squad, Juan Mata's future at Chelsea remains clouded today.

The Mirror says Liverpool will make a push to sign Mata this afternoon.

Manchester United are also interested in the midfield playmaker, though Arsenal's trail has gone cold as they prepare to welcome a deal for Real Madrid midfielder Mesut Ozil.

Reds boss Brendan Rodgers has kept a low profile today, despite welcoming three new signings.

It's suggested the Ulsterman is behind his desk working the phones to land Mata ahead of United.
