Inter Milan have tabled an official £20-million bid for Liverpool midfielder Javier Mascherano, the Treble winners have confirmed.
"I sent an offer to Liverpool by fax on Tuesday and am waiting for a reply from them," said Inter sporting director Marco Branca.
"We're not speaking to the player at the moment because we want to do this in the right way and make sure that Liverpool is happy.
"Everybody knows that Mascherano would like to change team and to change country. He also has a good relationship with our manager Rafa Benitez.
"We've made a very good offer, around the amount they are asking for. We have a strong team here, the best in Europe, but we would like to add one or two players to make us even stronger."
Liverpool has turned down an offer from Barcelona of €15 million (£12.3 million) plus former Arsenal man Aleksandr Hleb for the holding midfielder.
