Milito: “We are very excited about Masch joining us”

|

Inter Milan striker and fellow Argentine Diego Milito is almost certain that Liverpool midfielder Javier Mascherano will be joining the Italian club this summer. Quoted in the Daily Star Sunday, Milito said:

“We are very excited about Mascherano joining us at Inter. He has made it clear he wants to be here and it’s just down to the relevant people agreeing the deal now. In my view we are getting the very best defensive midfield player in the world and Maradona calls him one of the three most important players in the Argentina squad along with Lionel Messi and (Carlos) Tevez. That’s how highly he is regarded. I think it’s unrealistic of Liverpool to think they can keep hold of Mascherano when they can’t even offer Champions League football and are not challenging Manchester United and Chelsea for the Premier League title. The boss and Mascherano have a good friendship so there were no other clubs on the cards for him after that, including Barcelona. He has wanted to join for a while but when the boss joined Inter I think that sealed the deal.  Rafa has already made it clear that he wants another season like Jose had with us last season. Javier is a natural-born winner.  He’ll relish being at a club where he will win top honours.  I think it will be hard for Liverpool to hold on to the top players, including (Steven) Gerrard and (Fernando) Torres, but that is not my concern.”

Milito had an excellent season for the Nerazzurri last campaign, scoring two goals in the Champions League final against Bayern Munich.
