Mascherano's future must be clarified by Sunday © EuroFootball.com

Strategist Roy Hodgson stated that by Sunday Javier Mascherano must either move to another club or stay in Liverpool.

The 26-year-old footballer is being pursued by Barcelona and Inter Milan, which is why he did not travel with the team to the Europa League match against Trabzonspor.

"I hope that everything will be resolved in the next few days," the coach said. "Although I do not know how it will all end."

"I would not like to say that he has already played his last game wearing Liverpool's shirt. By Sunday, his future should be clarified."

On Thursday, reports emerged that Inter had made a £20 million offer for the midfielder. This amount is very close to what Liverpool is demanding.
