Spanish giants Barcelona are set to land Liverpool
midfielder Javier Mascherano, after striking a deal with the Reds,
according to reports.
The deal will be comprised of a player-plus-cash offer, with the
Anfield outfit set to receive midfielder Aliaksandr Hleb and
approximately €15 million for the Argentina captain, according to
Ole.
The report also claims that the player's agent has already met with
Barcelona officials, and confirmation of the deal could come in the
next few days.
Mascherano had recently expressed his desire to leave the Reds and
join the Spanish side, or reunite with former coach Rafael Benitez
at European champions Inter.
The Blaugrana were seeking another midfielder, after Yaya Toure
departed the Camp Nou for Manchester City during the
summer.
