According to sport.es, Barcelona have reportedly opened the door to Liverpool's Javier Mascherano as Pep Guardiola recently stated he would seeks new additions to his 19-man squad.
Guardiola, in a press conference earlier today, admitted that he would not rule out any new additions ahead of the closing of the transfer window. According to television channel TV3, the club are looking to complete a deal for the Liverpool enforcer before the deadline on August 31.
The coach was quoted as saying"Somebody might come along. If not, we have 19 in the squad plus three, four, five, six, seven or eight players from the B team I can use.
“I’d rather have 24 players, but I don’t want to take players on just to make up the numbers. We’ve got 19, and we’d normally have 23 or 24, but that means you’ve got 11 or 12 who aren’t playing."
