da winzada777： Internazionale have confirmed making a formal offer for unsettled Liverpool midfielder Javier Mascherano.
da dobrowin： The Argentina captain has told Reds boss Roy Hodgson of his desire to leave Anfield after three and a half seasons and Barcelona were believed to be in pole position to sign him.
However, Inter, who are coached by former Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez, have submitted an offer which they claim is closer to the Reds' valuation of the player.
Barcelona are believed to have offered just £12million for a player Liverpool value closer to the £25million mark.
Mascherano was left out of the squad for Thursday's Europa League play-off encounter with Trabzonspor in Turkey after Hodgson claimed he was not in the right frame of mind to play.
"I sent an offer to Liverpool by fax on Tuesday and I am waiting for a reply from them," Inter's sporting director Marco Branca told The Sun.
"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 are 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."Subscribe to Football FanCast News Headlines by Email
