An interesting prediction about the future of Javier Mascherano coming from none other than his home country of Argentina. South American newspaper Olé, summarizes the story of the Argentine captain’s future and how it will definitely be decided on Thursday. Why Thursday? Quite simply because on the 19th, Liverpool will face Trabzonspor in the Europa League, and if Mascherano were to feature in that match, it will inevitably take the midfielder off of the market. If he were to feature, Barcelona or Inter would not be able to use the Argentine during the group stages of the Champions League, making the investment far too great for only a “part-time” player. Perhaps we will no longer need to wait until the last day of the transfer window to determine the future of El Jefecito. Perhaps his future will be clear on Thursday.
