Sorry, should have been more specific. The owner (Mansour?) has finally agreed to let him go and the deal could be done in the January transfer window. The deal had been expexcted to be done in the summer.
Benitez hoped to be able to persuade Mascherano to stay, but the Argentine is determined to elave and could also join in January. He wouldn't be eligible for the Champions League, but he'd act as cover for Keita and Toure Yaya when they go to the African Nations.
