Inter Milan claim they
have ended their interest in Javier Mascherano because of
Liverpool's £25million asking price.
Rafa Benitez was keen to bring Argentina's World Cup skipper with
him to the San Siro and Inter president Massimo Moratti says they
now want Juventus' Brazilian midfielder Melo.
"Mascherano is a strong player, but it is unlikely that he will
arrive," said Moratti. "He simply costs too much and it is not
certain that Liverpool will sell.
"Melo is an intriguing idea and one that we are working on."
