Valencia's Spain international forward Juan Mata has dismissed reports suggesting that he is close to agreeing a big-money move to Barcelona.

The 22-year-old is currently on duty at the World Cup finals in South Africa and insists that his only focus at the moment is on Spain reaching the knockout stages.

Mata told AS: "I am a Valencia player. I know there have been rumours, but I know nothing.

"I am calm within the national team, enjoying the World Cup and thinking only about Chile. I think being here is something too important to be thinking about other things."

Los Che's vice-president Javier Gomez also rubbished talk of an imminent deal for Mata, adding: "There is no agreement and we have not even spoken of Mata with another club.

"Any offer will be studied for a player, but for Mata, I insist, there is nothing."
