Barca to offer 20m euros for Mascherano
Barcelona is readying an offer of 20 million euros for Liverpool's Argentine midfielder Javier Mascherano, a Spanish newspaper said Thursday.
Barca's technical director, Txiki Begiristain, has received permission from Liverpool's Spanish manager Rafael Benitez to make an offer for the 25-year-old Argentine captain, the Catalan daily Mundo Deportivo said.
However, this "does not mean that the 'Reds' are ready to accept" it, the paper said.
Benitez also told Begiristain that he is "not thinking of releasing the player," the newspaper said.
