Juan Mata is willing to stall new contract talks with Manchester United.
Mata is in talks over extending his contract with his current deal ending in the summer of 2019.
ESPN says he is prepared to wait before making his final decision, potentially opening doors to offers for the Spaniard.
He had been linked with a return to former club Valencia with Juventus also believed to be interested.
Mata has been at Manchester United since joining from Chelsea in 2014.
