During the summer of 2004, several clubs, including Real Madrid C.F. and Deportivo de La Coruña, declared an interest in signing Mascherano, but River Plate turned down all offers, saying that none of the interested parties were prepared to pay enough. Speculation continues over the youngster's future, and it is expected that European clubs will continue in their attempts to prise him away from Argentina.
Mascherano was part of the gold medal winning Argentinian team at the 2004 Summer Olympics.
