Inter Milan boss Rafa Benitez is confident he will soon seal a £20-million deal for Liverpool midfielder Javier Mascherano.
Inter sources have told the People they wish to complete the move this week and that Benitez has asked president Massimo Moratti to reduce the asking price for Real Madrid bound right-back Maicon to free up the funds to land Mascherano.
Inter recently rejected a £21.6 million offer for the Brazilian.
Liverpool boss Roy Hodgson is said to be closing in on Mascherano's replacement, Juventus midfielder Christian Poulsen, paving the way for the Argentine's departure.
Benitez has spoken with Mascherano's agent, Walter Tamer, and offered his client a contract.
And according to the Inter sources, the Treble winners will table a formal bid to the Liverpool board in the next few days.
