Galatasaray are in contact with Barcelona veteran Javier Mascherano.

The Argentine's future is the subject of a raging debate inside Barca, with many officials believing he needs to be moved on.

A return home to Argentina has been mooted for Mascherano, though Gala would like to keep him in Europe next season.

Sozcu says a two-year contract has been tabled to the player's minders, while they're prepared to offer €5 million to Barca to land the defensive utility.

Gala intermediaries are confident Barca will accept the terms, with an acceptance that Mascherano's time at the Nou Camp is now up.
