It's been rumored for almost a week at this point, but it appears that the transfer of Juan Mata from Valencia CF to Chelsea FC is finally close to completion. Valencia have confirmed via their official club website that they have agreed to a transfer with Chelsea and that Mata will become a Chelsea player, pending the player agreeing to personal terms and passing a medical. Both of these things are expected to be mere formalities and Mata should be presented as a Chelsea player shortly. Here's the club's statement, in Spanish:
