Chelsea have accepted a £37million bid for Juan Mata and immediately released the Spanish international to join Manchester United to complete the most dramatic deal of the transfer window.

Mata will undergo a medical on Thursday at United before completing the move that will see him more than double his £70,000-a-week Chelsea salary at Old Trafford.

Chelsea have been braced for a bid since Monday for Mata and finally received the offer triggering their acceptance and the release of the player.

The Premier League club are not expecting the 25-year-old to return to them and have already made plans for his replacements. A medical has been booked in for Thursday for Mata and personal terms accepted.

United chose a slightly unusual route to lodge their bid, using intermediaries, but Chelsea have accepted the offer as an official one and manager Jose Mourinho has sanctioned the move.

Klabu ya Manchester United imekamilisha usajili wa Juan Mata kutoka Chelsea kwa ada ya uhamisho iliyovunja rekodi ya kiasi cha pauni milioni 40.

Kiungo huyo alikosa mazoezi ya Chelsea jana Jumatano ikiwa ni hatua ya kwanza ya kukamilisha uhamisho huo huku akisafiri kuelekea mjini Manchester kufanya mazungumzo.

Uhamisho huo wa Mata umekuwa wa kwanza mkubwa zaidi kufanyika katika kipindi hiki cha Januari.

Mhispania huyo aliwaambia marafiki zake kuwa anaondoka Stamford Bridge,ingawa meneja,David Moyes alikataa kuzungumzia uhamisho huo mara baada ya kushuhudia kikosi chake kikifungwa kwa penati na Sunderland katika mchezo wa nusu fainali ya Kombe la Capital One kwenye dimba la Old Trafford.

Nyota huyo anataraji kufanya vipimo vya afya kabla ya wikiendi hii katika klabu hiyo ambayo msimu huu inatetea Ubingwa wake wa ligi kuu ya Uingereza na atakuwa akipokea mara mbili ya mshahara aliokuwa akilipwa Chelsea kutoka pauni 70,000 na kufikia pauni 150,000 kwa wiki.

Man United inahitaji kuimarisha kikosi chake kutokana na kuwa na msimu mbaya na kusajiliwa kwa Mata kwa dau lililovunja rekodi ya klabu hiyo ni nia ya kutaka kukirudisha timu kwenye ushindani na kiwango kizuri.

Chelsea wameridhika kufanya uhamisho huo kwani,Jose Mourinho ana viungo washambuliaji wengi katika kikosi chake hivyo imekuwa njia sahihi ya kumridhisha kiungo huyo ambaye alisajiliwa akitokea Valencia mwaka 2011 kwa kiasi cha pauni milioni 23.5.
