Mascherano: I know nothing about DePaul s transfer and will discuss with Messi whether he wants to take a rest

Miami International coach Mascherano talked about topics such as DePaul's transfer rumors and whether Messi needs a rotation rest in an interview.

Recently there are rumors that DePaul may join Miami International. Mascherano said: "There is no official news about De Paul, and I just saw the media reports like everyone else. He is now a player of another team, and I obviously don't like to talk about players belonging to other clubs. If there is any progress in the future, I will be happy to answer your questions."

Mascherano continued: "De Paul is a top player, a member of Argentina's World Cup championship, and has been playing in Europe for many years. We always welcome great players, but I can't say more now because I know nothing about it."

Veteran Messi has performed well in recent games, but some people think Messi should be given a rest to protect his health. Mascherano responded: "We will see what the best choice is, and of course we will discuss this issue with Messi. This is not only a question of whether Messi needs rotation, but also a problem that all important players may face."

Finally, Mascherano said: "You can see that whenever Messi feels that he is not in his best condition this season, we will try to protect and take care of him. As long as he is in good health, we can manage him well and we will continue to do so."
