Inter are one of three Serie A clubs interested in signing Manchester United midfielder Juan Mata on a free transfer this summer, according to a report in the UK today.

As per The Sun, the Nerazzurri are the side to have expressed the most interest in signing the 32-year-old so far, whose contract with the Premier League club is set to expire at the end of this season.

But Juventus and Roma are also keen on a deal and are said to be more likely to make a move for Mata than Inter.

Manchester United have an option to extend Mata’s deal by another season, but he has barely featured under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer this year with just eight appearances in all competitions.

Mata is said to be happy at Old Trafford, but he would like to be playing more at this stage of his career.

A lucrative move to the Middle East is also a possibility for Mata, but the midfielder hopes there will be offers from Spanish clubs which allow him to return home.
