World Cup winner Juan Mata has hinted at delving into the world of club ownership in Australia as he continues his career outside of Europe.

The former Manchester United, Chelsea and Spain star spent time with Galatasaray and Vissel Kobe following his Old Trafford exit in 2022, but he's since made the long trek to Australia to represent A-League outfit Western Sydney Wanderers.

The 37-year-old made the move down under last summer and has since made 23 appearances for the Sydney outfit. While his contract expires in June, he's revealed he's in negotiations to extend his stay with the club.

“We are having conversations [about extending], and I'm thinking about it,” said Mata following the announcement on Tuesday that his charity, CommonGoal, was partnering with Professional Footballers Australia.
