Inter Milan are set to make a bid for Liverpool tough man Javier Mascherano, according to the Daily Mail.
The Argentine has been linked with an Anfield exit after sounding out his desire to join Barcelona and Chelsea are reportedly interested in snatching him away from the Liverpool together with his team mate Yossi Benayoun in a bid to retain their Premier League title next season.
Blues midfielders Deco and Juliano Belletti will be released from the club at the end of their contracts, with Deco set to return to his homeland Brazil.
Michael Ballack and Joe Cole could also leave Stamford Bridge on free transfers if they cannot agree to a new deal with the Premier League champions, which may explain Carlo Ancelotti's interest in bringing Mascherano to Chelsea.
Besides Chelsea, Italian giants Juventus have also been linked with the 25-year-old, who allegedly expressed his concerns over Liverpool's finances and manager Rafael Benitez.
Mascherano's Anfield futures looks bleak, with contract talks with the club bearing little fruits and are now on hold until after the World Cup.
