Valencia star and Liverpool and Arsenal target Juan Mata has insisted that he is not desperate to quit the La Liga club.[LNB] Mata has just helped Spain lift the European Under-21 championship, and he is being strongly linked with a big-money move away from La Mestalla.[LNB]Both Liverpool and Arsenal are both understood to be keen, whilst Real Madrid and Barcelona are also thought to be monitoring the situation.[LNB]But Mata says he could easily remain with Valencia - who are back in the Champions League next term.[LNB]"I want to win a trophy with Valencia next season. I've not planned anything different as I've a contract until 2015," Mata told SuperDeporte.[LNB]Reports suggest that although Valencia want to keep Mata, they are still financially strapped and a bid in excess of £23million could be enough to land him.[LNB]Spanish sources claim Real could be ready to offer Pedro Leon in exchange, which again could tempt Valencia.[LNB]
