Liverpool will not be forced to sell Barcelona target Javier Mascherano due to pressures from banks, according to Sky Sports News.
The club are currently up for sale after owners George Gillett and Tom Hicks ran up a debt of £351.4 million since taking over in February 2007. With the Royal Bank of Scotland putting the squeeze on the Americans due to the sum, reports had emerged that player sales were needed to help balance the books.
