Reports from England and Spain were saying that Javier Mascherano is just step away from signing a contract with Barcelona. But now it is clear that this scenario will not go throught. Barcelona sporting director Andoni Zubizarreta has denied reports that the club have reached any agreement to sign Javier Mascherano from Liverpool, and has also claimed that the player ‘does not fit into the club’s season plan’.
Now it is all on Inter, who had the best chances on signing Mascherano from the very beginning. Mascherano wants to join Inter and re-unite with his former boss Rafael benitez and his Argentinian teammates, Diego Milito, Walter Samuel, Javier Zanetti, Esteban Cambiasso etc. Inter was holding the negotations because as Massimo Moratti, the president of Inter said, they did not have enough money to buy Mascherano, but now as they sold Balotelli to Man City, money is not a problem. We will see in next few days, if this saga will come to an end.
