The Daily Star understand that Manchester United have put a £30m price-tag on midfielder Juan Mata, paving the way for Juventus to make a move.
The Spain international only moved to Old Trafford from Chelsea back in January for a then club record fee of £37.1m though he has so far struggled to recapture the form that saw him be named to Blues Player of the Year to seasons in succession.
New United manager Louis van Gaal has added a plethora of attacking talent to his squad with the signings of Angel Di Maria and Radamel Falcao while they are set to reignite their interest in Juve midfielder Arturo Vidal when the transfer window reopens.
Mata netted in the 1-1 draw with Sunderland last month, while he bagged six goals in fifteen league appearances for the club last season.
United next face Queens Park Rangers at home on Sunday, with Mata priced at 5/1 to open the scoring.
