Craig HillMascherano deal to be completed this week?
February 5th 2008 03:15
The transfer saga over Javier Mascherano is expected to be completed this week with Liverpool set to pay £18.6 million for the Argentina midfielder who is currently owned by a company called Media Sports Investment (MSI).
The defensive lynchpin spoke to Liverpoolfc.tv after the 3-0 victory over Sunderland on Saturday and was hopeful a deal could be sealed by the end of the week.
Proclaiming his love for the Kop, Mascherano said: "The fans like me and I love the fans. They are great and that's the reason I want to stay here.
It's not finished yet but I am hoping to stay here. I have a lot of confidence that after the next week I will be able to say, 'Everything is right and I am staying here in Liverpool.'
"We now need to wait. We are very close but we need to talk again next week. I think everything will be okay. I've waited a long time, so I can wait one week more."

Mascherano up against his mate Carlos Tevez of Man Utd
The Argentina midfielder is currently registered as a Reds player on a long-term loan from owners MSI. He previously played for West Ham but joined the Merseysiders in January 2007 and helped play a vital role in Liverpool's march to the Champions League final.
'Masch' came through the ranks at South American giants River Plate and such was his potential that he earned his first international call-up before kicking a ball for his club.
He has since made 35 appearances for his country.
