Inter Milan coach Rafa Benitez has baulked at questions about returning to Liverpool to buy Javier Mascherano.

The Argentina captain is a target for Inter and confessed this week that he is learning Italian.

Yesterday, Benitez was asked about his plans for the transfer market, which might include a bid for Liverpool ace Mascherano.

"We are analysing the situation. We can always improve. Mascherano isn't our player. I prefer to dribble this question," he replied.
