Argentinian media: Mascherano to join Barcelona

Ole is reporting that Barca has reached an agreement with Liverpool over the sale of Javier Mascherano for €15 million. In addition, they will also get Alyaksandr Hleb, as a sweetener which according to reports helped break the impasse.

If this is true, then Mascherano will take Yaya Toure's place in the Barca midfield and unite with fellow Argentine Leo Messi.
