Napoli players working on Mascherano to quit Barcelona

Napoli defender Federico Fernandez says his teammates will work hard on tempting Barcelona midfielder Javier Mascherano to Naples. The Argentine is a target for Napoli coach Rafa Benitez.

"We hope Argentina do well in Brazil, as there is a lot of competition, but we want to be protagonists," defender Fernandez told Radio Kiss Kiss.

"Higuain scores and helps the team to score too. He is a fundamental player and can make the difference for us, always.

"Mascherano? When the season ends we can talk. Higuain and I will show him some photos of Naples and aim to convince him to join Napoli. We'll see in August if it's possible to do anything."
