Zaragoza will be our main oponent in Mascherano race.
They have Aimar, D'Alessandro, Diego Milito, Gabriel Milito and Leonardo Ponzio, all of them classy Argentinian players who'll help him a lot. They have very solid team , fighting for Champions league place, and the language won't be a problem for him.
With Mascherano there, they'll become one of the best Spanish teams, and they may even become the European suprise, like Deportivo and Valencia were some 6-7 years ago.
More and more teams are after him, and it makes our chances smaller. We must hurry, but i fear Secco's right, and it really is impossibile to sign him at this time !
