Liverpool midfielder Javier Mascherano looks set to stay at Anfield this summer as Barcelona coach Josep Guardiola has suggested that the Blaugrana may not acquire any more new players this summer.
Mascherano is thought to favour a move to Spain, with his representative Walter Tamer suggesting the transfer would suit the Argentine for personal reasons.
Barca have spent around €45 million on striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic, and Guardiola has hinted that the Swede's signature could be the last high-profile arrival at the Camp Nou this summer.
"The market is open but very complicated," Guardiola said, according to The Daily Star.
"All the signings are very expensive and one of the options is that there won’t be any more reinforcements.
"We are rich, but not as much as others. Everyone, for whatever player, is asking for a great deal of money.
“That wise man Sir Alex Ferguson was definitely right when he said that this isn’t a year to sign.”
The former Barca player continued, “What is certain is that we’re not going to bring in someone just for the sake of it."
