BARCELONA plan to cash in on Liverpool's money meltdown with a £20million swoop for Javier Mascherano.
The Champions League winners have already sounded out the Argentina captain's advisors after SunSport revealed yesterday how the Kop club's accountants had reported a crippling loss of £42m and fears the company running the club "could not continue as a going concern".
Mascherano, 25, still has three years left on his current contract after moving to Anfield in January 2007.
It leaves Benitez facing a nightmare scenario of losing two of his key players this summer as Xabi Alonso is on the verge of a £24m switch to Real Madrid.
Barca boss Pep Guardiola will be without midfielders Yaya Toure and Seydou Keita for almost two months because of the African Nations Cup next winter. And he has always rated Mascherano very highly.
