Mascherano will not force Barcelona exit

Barcelona have told Javier Mascherano they do
not want him to leave amid reports in Spain and
Italy that Juventus are attempting to lure him to
Turin.
The defensive midfielder, who is 32 on
Wednesday, is under contract until June 2018
and has a €100 million release clause.
Mascherino said to Ole newspaper: "Barca have
let me know that they have no intention of me
leaving. They are very happy with me.
"When the club, and even more so this club, tells
you this, it is very difficult to leave. I am not
going to force anything. Nobody involved
deserves that.
"There is always the possibility of leaving, but
also of staying. I have a contract with Barcelona.
They have treated me very well, I have no
complaints," said the Argentine who is with his
national squad in the United States for the Copa
America.
Mascherano started 44 games for Barca last
season, helping them win the league and cup
double, and has been a regular since signing
from Liverpool in 2010.
Barcelona sporting director Roberto Fernandez
last week described Mascherano as a "vital
player" who he was sure would stay at the club
who have announced the departures of
defenders Dani Alves and Marc Bartra.
"I will do nothing to muddy my relationship with
Barcelona," Mascherano said.
"They have always been very good and the day I
leave the club, I do not want to go with a bad
taste in the mouth."
