Javier Mascherano's future at Liverpool is tied to manager Rafa Benitez.
The Daily Mail says a recent attempt by Benitez to independently secure the permanent services of Mascherano - negotiating with the Argentine's 'owner' Kia Joorabchian about a £17m deal to turn the loan into a fixed move - has annoyed Liverpool co-owners George Gillett and Tom Hicks.
It emerged yesterday that Mascherano, seen as having a key role in Liverpool's future, will not commit to a permanent move until he is convinced Benitez is staying.















To hell with hicks and gillette they messing up everyhting at the club we need Benitez the best manager, and Mascherano, the steel in our side.
