Atletico Madrid are ready to bid big for Manchester United midfielder Juan Mata.
The Sunday Express says Atetico have made United midfielder Mata their top target for the January transfer window.
According to Spanish sources, the former Chelsea man's availability has excited Diego Simeone - and will push forward with an offer in the near future.
Valencia and Juventus are also thought to be interested, but £20m could be beyond the Italian side's financial capabilities.
The latest reports claim that Mata has absolutely no intentions of returning to his former employer, leaving Simeone with a clear path to sign the Spaniard.
