Javier Mascherano coy on Barcelona exit talk

Javier Mascherano has refused to distance himself from rumours that he could leave Barcelona this summer.

Juventus have been strongly linked with a move for the experienced Argentine, although it is understood that Barcelona have rejected an approach from Turin.

The 31-year-old, who has two years left on his deal at Camp Nou, has claimed that "everything has to come to an end" amid rumours that the centre-back will seek pastures new before the start of the 2016-17 campaign.

"There will come a day where everything has to come to an end," Mascherano told TyC Sports. "I don't know if it will be now, in one year, or in two or even three. I am at Barcelona, and I am very grateful to the club. As for the future? I don't like to hang on to anything."

Mascherano has also been linked with a return to Argentina.
