According to reports, Barcelona superstar Lionel Messi fears that his team-mate Javier Mascherano could move to Liverpool.
Mascherano is now longer a regular starter at the Camp Nou having only made six appearances this season so far and he is also nearing the end of his contract.
Naturally this has led to him being linked with a move away from Spain and a return to Liverpool could be on the cards.
The Argentina international may be 33 years old and past his prime but he still does have the energy and drive to carry on at the highest level for a couple more years.
Dario Gol has claimed that Messi has resigned himself to the club parting ways with the veteran.
Mascherano enjoyed a successful spell with Liverpool between 2006 and 2011 and left the club in order to join Barcelona. He is now in his eighth and probably final season with the Spanish giants.
