The agent of Barcelona player Javier Mascherano will meet with the club next week to discuss the future of his client.
Napoli are very interested in the 29-year-old and Rafa Benitez, who coached him at Liverpool, holds the player in high regard.
Sky Sport Italia reports that the representative will meet with the Blaugrana management in order to understand how he will be utilised under newly appointed coach Luis Enrique are and if they are willing to sell him.
Luis Enrique recently stated that Mascherano has the right qualities to be a captain at the Catalan club.
