Javier Mascherano no longer wants to play for Barcelona.
This season, the 33-year-old defender, who has had almost no playing time, does not intend to wait until the end of the season, when his contract with the Catalonian team expires, and wants to leave in January.
This season, Mascherano played 10 matches, but he no longer has a significant role in the team. The Argentine wants more playing time to be ready for the 2018 World Cup.
"Mundo Deportivo" reports that the defender has spoken with Manuel Pellegrini and would like to move to his team, "Hebei China Fortune."
Chinese footballers offer him a great deal - they promise to pay him 7 million euros per year.
