Javier Mascherano rapped over Liverpool contract talk
Published 00:00 08/05/09 By By David Maddock
Rafa Benitez has read the riot act to Javier Mascherano - and warned the midfielder he won't be quitting Liverpool.
The Argentinian dismayed Anfield fans last week when he revealed that, even though he is happy with the club, he does not know if he will be there next season.
Benitez immediately gave Mascherano a serious dressing down - and a hard word about his contract, which has three years to run.
Benitez admitted: "I talked to him and he is happy here. But you can't stop clubs talking with his agent because he is a good player.
"There aren't too many holding midfielders of his calibre."
