Barcelona have had a good last few months after so much tension both on the pitch and behind the scenes. Laporta and his team are working to improve the club's finances and the club's position in the table. One of the keys to doing that is to bring in ex-players who know the club well.
Dani Alves has returned and, according to 'Sport', the board have got Javier Mascherano on their radar. The Argentine is currently coaching Argentina's Under 20s and his first training session was watched by Messi and Di Maria.
The former footballer is liked by Barcelona, who will alert to study his return if he decides to leave the Argentina U20s. The Argentinian would arrive, in any case, to coach an age group side.
Laporta likes him because of everything he has given the club during his eight seasons at the club and because of his character and commitment. He has not lost any of that becoming a coach.
Mascherano left Barcelona with 334 appearances and 300 starts to his name so he is one of the men the club wanted to get again.
