Reds ace not ruling out Inter move

Liverpool star Javier Mascherano has hinted he would be interested in a move to be reunited with Rafa Benitez at Inter Milan. Mascherano is believed to be one of Benitez's top targets as the former Liverpool boss prepares for life in Italy. Argentine ace Mascherano admits he would consider a move to Inter if Benitez came calling for him describing the Spanish coach as his 'teacher.' "Me to Inter? Ask Benitez. He is the one who knows more," said Mascherano "Rafa is my teacher. I learned so much from him since I came to play in Europe. "I am learning Italian, but I don't know anything about Inter. Does Benitez want me? You should ask him as he would know more than me."

Talks

Mascherano's Italian agent, Marco Piccioli indicated a move is close as he has held talks with Inter. "There has already been a first contact with (Inter sporting director) Marco Branca," said Piccioli. "We are evaluating the move hard and in the next few days we will have a new meeting to better establish the details of this transfer deal."
