According to reports out of Spain on Wednesday, Whites director Victor Orta had spoken with the player's father and that discussions were still going on.
The discussions between Leeds and Mata's side are, according to 90Min, proceeding slowly but in the correct direction.

Additionally, the former Manchester United star is ready to come to Elland Road during this transfer window.
Another Spanish report indicated a higher likelihood that Mata will travel to Leeds in the coming weeks.
Sport Witness quoted Marca as saying that the player was'studying' the Whites' offer and that there had been negotiations.
Mata allegedly told the Whites and other suitors that he is "ready to cut" the pay he was receiving at Manchester United, according to the Spanish newspaper.
According to the article, Mata prioritizes playing in a tough league because he still thinks he can contribute at the highest level.
Real Betis, who have denied being interested in a trade at this time, have also been linked to the 34-year-old.
As a result, Orta and Jesse Marsch have a chance to capture their target. And according to Mata, he is "waiting to see what happens with Leeds."
He's the best, isn't he?
What a coup for Leeds, since Mata is a player with tremendous quality, experience, and work ethic.
The former international for Spain has had a tremendous career, and a transfer to Leeds would be an excellent next step.
At Manchester United, Chelsea, and Valencia, Mata has made more than 600 competitive club appearances.
Seven trophies, including the 2012 Champions League with the Blues, have been won by him throughout his time playing football in England.

Along with winning the 2010 World Cup and Euro 2020 with La Roja, Mata has earned 41 caps for Spain.
In October 2020, Scott McTominay described Mata on the MUFC website as "such a player."
The best, isn't he? There isn't much more to say about Juan. He is a gentleman both on and off the field.
"He speaks to people with class, and he clothes with elegance.
"Watch Juan Mata if you're a young footballer who wants to be one of the best players in the world.
He is completely aware of the requirements for winning awards.
He has a winning attitude, and he is using that for us.
And he has really high standards for all the players around him to live up to.
"Whenever he performs like he does, you can see that."
