Masch agent welcomes 'dream' Inter link
Javier Mascherano's agent claims the Liverpool midfielder would jump at the chance of a reunion with Rafael Benitez at Inter Milan.[LNB] The Argentina captain is reportedly one of the top transfer targets for Inter this summer.[LNB]And Mascherano's agent Walter Tamer has done little to quell the speculation, telling Italian newspaper Corriere dello Sport: "Mascherano has not spoken to (new Liverpool manager Roy) Hodgson nor with Liverpool.[LNB]"After the World Cup, he has switched off but it's clear that he is happy to be a target of top clubs in the transfer market.[LNB]"Last season, it was the European champions Barcelona that wanted him and this year it's Inter, the current Champions League winners.[LNB]"For him to be linked to Inter has a magical taste...it's a dream.[LNB]"Think about it, the strongest team in the world wants him, a team where many of Mascherano's compatriots play and a side that is guided by a coach with whom Mascherano has a personal bond."[LNB]Mascherano is under contract with the Reds until June 2012, a potential stumbling block admitted Tamer.[LNB]He added: "If it was up to Mascherano, the negotiations (with Inter) would be very easy.[LNB]"But he has a contract with Liverpool and first the two clubs would have to find an agreement before we step in."[LNB]Tamer claims 26-year-old Mascherano was the subject of an offer from Barca last summer.[LNB]"Last year (former Liverpool coach) Benitez turned down a lot of money offered by Barcelona for the player but this is a different market," Tamer said.[LNB]"I have not been informed what Mascherano's buy-out clause is.[LNB]"I await a call as I am the only one authorised to speak of his eventual transfer."
