Javier Mascherano has won it all with Barcelona.
Surely playing in the best club side in world football could never get boring.
But maybe that is what has happened to the former Liverpool player, who it’s being reported is leaving Barcelona for a move to Serie A.
The 31-year-old was a central midfielder in his time in England, but since his move to Spain, the Argentina international has played more of a withdrawn defensive role as a ball playing, and tough-tackling, centre-half.
Despite Mascherano being well under six foot, and not the quickest over five yards, no teams were really able to exploit him.
Which makes his possible loss for Barca all the most worrying as he is linked with a move to Juventus.
Ok, Sport's full story: Agreement between Masch and Juve on 3 year deal, much more money. No club agreement.

According to reports in Spain, the ex-West Ham player has agreed terms with the Serie A champions, and while no deal is yet in pace between Barca and the Turin giants, it’s understood that the player is keen to leave Spain.
Reports suggest that deal to sign Marquinhos from Paris Saint-Germain has upset Mascherano and he is keen to leave the Camp Nou, with his fee likely to be in excess of €20million, even if Barcelona would prefer not to sell him.
