Manchester United have been offered a swap deal by Inter Milan that would see Joao Mario head to Old Trafford in exchange Juan Mata.
Mata has less than a single year left on his current Manchester United contract, but like most of his team mates the Red Devils have the option of extending it by another year.
Corriere dello Sport via Sun Sport is claiming that Juan Mata is wanted at the San Siro with the Nerazurri prepared to offer Joao Mario in exchange. But the reports further claims that Jose Mourinho would not accept a player swap even though he wants to sign Mario.
Mario has struggled for game time this season, and has been transfer-listed by Inter Milan.
Per the report, a swap deal could still through, but it would be Henrikh Mkhitaryan who the Red Devils will offer instead of Mata.
Mkhitaryan has struggled to make even the substitute’s bench recently, and has not started for United since the 1-0 loss to Chelsea.
Mourinho is actually interested in a player plus cash deal for Mkhitaryan.
Manchester United are also interested in Milinkovic Savic, of Lazio, but the player seem to prefer a move to Juventus at this stage.
