Barcelona midfielder Javier Mascherano has reportedly hinted that he may be forced to quit the Spanish club at the end of the current La Liga campaign.

Speaking to TyC Sports, the ex-Liverpool star said: "The focus is to be happy and the decision I make will depend on how things are going.

"In Barcelona, it is obvious I am not playing at the frequency I played before. I'm still playing, I'm still competing, I'm in a team where every game I play is because I earn it in training, but it's clear there are many times you want to play more.

"I am not going to say I will rule something out because things change and I don't want to be imprisoned by my words,'' the 33-year-old explained.
