Barcelona midfielder Javier Mascherano can see Marcelo Bielsa eventually moving to the Nou Camp.

Bielsa is staying in charge of Athletic Bilbo after offering his resignation last week.

"(Pep) Guardiola has been a coach that has left a big impact on my career. He has a lot of similarities to Bielsa and obviously Marcelo is capable of managing Barcelona," said Mascherano.
