Fernando Torres is hopeful that Javier Mascherano won't quit Liverpool for Barcelona.

He told the Daily Mail: "Javier loves it at Liverpool - that is all I can tell you. In the summer people like to make a lot of noises about world-class players - and Javier is a worldclass player.

"He has said himself that he is very happy at Anfield and there is no reason for him to want to leave."
