Liverpool boss Roy Hodgson is
ready to sell Javier Mascherano
to Inter Milan.
The Daily Mail says with Mascherano expressing his
desire to leave Anfield, Hodgson and the Liverpool board will not stand in his way but they
are determined not to sell him on the cheap to former boss
Rafael Benitez.
The Spaniard and his new employers are prepare for a long fight
for the Argentina captain, valued at £25m by Liverpool, and are ready to offer former
Portsmouth midfielder Sulley
Muntari as part of their first offer this week.
But the Ghana international, a virtual ever-present at Inter
under Jose Mourinho, is unlikely
to want to quit the San Siro, while Hodgson has his eyes on other
options in any case.
