Javier Mascherano Insists He Has Nothing Against Club

Liverpool midfielder Javier Mascherano insists he has nothing against the club despite his desire to leave.

"The only thing I want to say is I don’t have nothing against the Liverpool supporters, the Liverpool people," said Mascherano after Argentina’s 1-0 win over the Republic of Ireland. “My problem is not playing for Liverpool. I’m very proud to play for Liverpool. It’s another thing.

“I said to him (new Liverpool manager Roy Hodgson) that maybe for my life I prefer to change the country, not to change the club - that is the fact.

“Sometimes you can see all the things that the papers or the press say, but at the end the only thing I can say is thank you to everyone in Liverpool because they supported me all the time, from the beginning until now.”

The 26-year-old appears to be on his way to Barcelona after Inter Milan pulled out of the running for his signature.
