Javier Zanetti wants Liverpool midfielder & Argentina team-mate Javier Mascherano to join him at Inter
Benitez will have final say on any transfers...
By Harry Veal
Inter Milan captain Javier Zanetti hopes that international team-mate Javier Mascherano will leave Liverpool and join him at the San Siro next season.
Champions League winners Inter are looking to build on their success last season and former Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez is thought to be keen to manage Mascherano again.
Zanetti is also a fan of the midfielder and believes that he would fit in perfectly at Inter.
"Mascherano? He's a great player, who retrieves a lot of balls. He would suit to Inter," Zanetti told Sky Italia.
Inter’s sporting director, Marco Branca, also refused to rule out a move for the Liverpool player, and reiterated that Benitez will decide on any potential transfer targets.
"I can say that he is a great player," Branca said.
"There are good players that we can take and others that cannot be taken. It depends from the requests of the clubs.
"Mascherano and Cambiasso together? From a technical standpoint, the coach must give the answer.
"What does Benitez think about it? I didn't ask him."
