Valencia are keeping the door ajar for the potential return of Chelsea midfielder Juan Mata.
The 25-year old Spaniard has fallen right down the pecking order at Stamford Bridge since Jose Mourinho's arrival, prompting talk of a possible January exit.
Reports suggest that Los Che are monitoring the situation of their former star and are believed to be attempting to raise funds of around £25million to launch a winter bid.
If they cannot raise the required monies, Valencia may ask Chelsea for a loan when the January window rolls around.
