Liverpool midfielder Javier Mascherano says he expects to complete a permanent move to the Anfield club this week.

The Argentine is registered as a Reds player on a long-term loan from Media Sports Investments (MSI), the consortium that 'owns' the player.

The 23-year-old said: "I have a lot of confidence that, after the next week, I can say 'everything is right and I am staying here in Liverpool'.
