10 Top Players Entering The Final Year Of Their Contracts

10. Juan Mata (Manchester United)

Spanish midfielder Juan Mata has been one of the Premier League's most elegant and entertaining players to watch since his arrival in England way back in 2011. He spent a few years at Chelsea before making a 2014 move to Manchester United, signing a five-year deal which has never been extended.

Out of contract next year and increasingly out of favour with Old Trafford boss José Mourinho, Mata might end up moving on before the end of the summer. Manchester United may choose to cash in on the diminutive midfielder, who appeared 28 times in the league last season, scoring 3 goals in total.

Mata, once a regular fixture in the Spain national side, hasn't appeared for his country since 2016 and may try to push through a move in order to earn a few more caps before his career comes to an end. At the age of 30, there's still time left for Mata to make an impact for club and country, and he might favour a return to his homeland, with Barcelona at one point rumoured to be interested in signing him up.
