The Argentina and Barcelona sensation Lionel Messi has spoken about the prospect of Barca signing fellow international team mate Javier Mascherano from Liverpool.
According to goal.com an article in The Sun newspaper states that Barcelona have been in contact with Javiers agent about the move and a deal with £20mi could well be on the cards.
It will be difficult for Barcelona to sign him, but Javier has a better chance of winning trophies with Barcelona, both in the League and Champions League.
Messi commented:
“It will be beautiful if Barcelona signed Javier, as a player and as a friend,” The Sun quote Messi as saying.
“Not only to have him on the pitch but also off it as well. He’s a great player and would be a great signing.”
While Liverpool would be extremely reluctant to see one of their top stars leave, it has been rumoured that Mascherano’s family would like to move to Spain having failed to settle in England.
