LIVERPOOL manager Roy Hodgson has confirmed that midfielder Javier Mascherano wants to leave the club.
The Argentina captain has been linked with a reunion with former Liverpool manager Rafa Benitez, who has moved to Inter Milan since the end of last season. Mascherano joined Liverpool in 2007 from West Ham.
"He wants to leave the club," Hodgson said. "He has made that perfectly clear. I think he wanted to leave a year ago. He wants to leave now but he is contracted to Liverpool so whether he leaves or not will be our decision."
Hodgson also expects striker Fernando Torres to be back next week.
"As far as I know he is looking forward to coming back here - he is back on Monday," he said. "He is enjoying a holiday - a well-deserved break as he has not had one for three years. He is spending a lot of time with his family, keeping a low profile and as far as I know he is not really speaking to anyone.
"But he has told us that he is looking forward to Monday, looking forward to getting back to work and looking forward to playing for Liverpool next season. That is what I know. So other reports, I would suggest, are erroneous."
