Still, you can see how various factors have forced the price up (Man Utd's desperation, January window, buying from a rival) because I really can't see how you can say Mata is worth more than £30m (and that's me being somewhat generous).

I'd say various factors forced the price down, lack of playing time and his injury, because when a player has combined 50 goals and assists in the previous two years, in addition to being a key figure, protagonist, if goals and assists don't already indicate that, in my books is well worth that sum.

They didnt overpay one bit. Mata is one of the best at what he does.

Those factors didn't force the price down.

All they did was mean he actually had a price.

Chelsea wouldn't have been interested in selling otherwise.

Salah to Chelsea

Yes, his price was significantly higher last summer. If Chelsea wanted to sell him back then, they could have asked at least 40m. When a player is on the sidelines for too long, or doesn't get enough opportunity to consistently show his talent, his price will undoubtedly plummet.

So we missed out on De Bruyne AND Mata.

Basically, various factors over time forced down the valuation of Mata on Chelsea's side to ManUtd's valuation allowing them to agree on a price.

Mata will boost Man Utd up...they can't get any worse.

So what would his value be right now if he was at his peak, playing for Chelsea and with 20 goals+assists?

value to who? his valuation won't be the same to two different clubs.

 

[JuveJay]

For Chelsea.

 

[Dostoevsky]

Burdisso > Genoa

 

[BayernMan12]

Sounds like its almost done

@TransferNewsCen: Sky Sports: Juan Mata will undergo his medical for Manchester United tonight ans complete deal tomorrow morning

 

[jukazem]

For Chelsea.

if he's not for sale or they can't replace him, then by definition Chelsea's valuation will be greater than the valuation of his other highest bidder, it's circumstantial. for instance, Chelsea have already played ManUtd twice this season, Mata can't harm Chelsea in the league anymore but he can take games from ManCity or Arsenal or Liverpool. So Mata can still have value for Chelsea while he playes for ManUtd this season..

 

[JuveJay]

I hear you, so you think that Mata would be worth €70m or more to Chelsea (see Pogba, Vidal) if he was the key attacking player for them?

 

[jukazem]

Yes, there is a lot of money in football nowadays. Imo many clubs can pay that much money, if Chelsea had to rebuff offers, they would value him at something like that.
