Liverpool 'Exerting Strong Pressure' On Valencia Over Juan Mata

Perhaps in anticipation of New England Sports Ventures' proposed £300m takeover of Liverpool eventually going through, the Reds are reportedly planning for January purchases.

According to the Spanish daily Super Deporte, Valencia winger Juan Mata is firmly in Reds boss Roy Hodgson’s sights.

The paper claims that Liverpool have been “exerting strong pressure” on the La Liga leaders over the player.

It follows rumours that Liverpool could use Ryan Babel as a makeweight in a deal for the winger.

Mata averages a goal or assist every 105.5 minutes this season.

He is contracted to Valencia until 2012 and is valued at €20M-30M
