Barcelona star Javier Mascherano has reportedly agreed a deal to join Serie A champions Juventus.
According to Sport, the Argentinian has reached a deal with the Italian outfit, but there has been no agreement between the two clubs:
It would be something of a surprise if Mascherano, 31, left the Camp Nou after six seasons at the club, as he remains one of their most important and influential players.
Indeed, Gerard Romero's Sport report says Barca "have no intention of selling [Mascherano] at the moment" but he has been "assessing the possibility of leaving for an improved contract, which could be the last big one of his sporting career."
According to Mundo Deportivo (via the Mirror's Ed Malyon), the former Liverpool midfielder is concerned about the potential arrival at Barca of key target Marquinhos from Paris Saint-Germain.
Furthermore, he also wants to play in "a more advanced role" than he has at Barca, and Juve would reportedly offer him a midfield spot, with current Blaugrana boss Luis Enrique having not made good on his promise to play Mascherano further forward.
