Liverpool's tireless Argentinian midfielder Javier Mascherano has dropped the strongest hint yet that he's set for a possible move to Inter, talking of his great relationship with former boss Rafa Benitez.
Football Italia have reported that Mascherano's agent believes a deal could be done towards the end of the transfer window after the player's post-World Cup break.
Agent Marco Piccioli said: "I know Javier and Benitez have a great relationship."
Inter may well have to sell to supplement a bid for the Argentine, but with the likes of Wesley Sneijder, Maicon and Mario Balotelli being linked all around Europe, they should be able to persuade Liverpool to part with their midfield maestro. Liverpool themselves are not in the most affluent of situations and may be forced to accept any large bids.
At 26 years of age, Mascherano should still have the peak of his career ahead of him and is becoming an integral part of the national side, with over 60 caps and the current captaincy to his name.
After working with Benitez for more than three years, it would appear the Argentine would see his future with the Champions League holders.
