AS (via Sport Witness) have claimed that Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid, Arsenal and Valencia have all been chasing Mateo Mejia, however it’s the Old Trafford club who have seemingly convinced the 16-year-old to head to the Premier League. Reports on Monday suggested that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men will wrap up a €670k deal for the midfielder but AS states that United will actually only have to pay the player’s €150,oo0 training rights. AS adds that there has been ‘outrage’ over the potential transfer, with the youngster understood to have said goodbye to his Zaragoza team-mates – although the Spanish Second Division side appear to have been kept in the dark.
