No Deal Between Barcelona & Liverpool For Midfielder Javier Mascherano


Rumours of the potential transfer of Javier Mascherano from Liverpool to Barcelona during the winter transfer window are understood to be without any concrete foundation, according to Spanish publication Sport.

Speculation surrounding the Argentina captain has continued throughout the season after he was strongly linked with a summer move to Camp Nou and recent reports suggested that the players representatives had reached an agreement on the personal terms of a winter move.

However Sport have refuted this after claiming to have been in contact with both clubs with both Liverpool and Barcelona denying any knowledge of the switch.

The 25-year-old arrived on Merseyside in February 2007 following a brief and unsuccessful stint at West Ham United. Since then he has established himself as a regular in Rafael Benitez's side, initially forming a formidable central partnership with Xabi Alonso before the Spaniard left to join Real Madrid during the summer.
