  EXCLUSIVE: LIVERPOOL are shock contenders to sign unhappy West Ham midfielder Javier Mascherano for £6million.
  
  
  
  Representatives for the Argentine, 22, have been in talks with Italian giants Juventus as new Hammers boss Alan Curbishley has ruled the World Cup star out of his plans. But Liverpool, who were interested in Mascherano last summer, are making a bid to try and take him to Anfield.
  
  Mascherano signed a four-year deal with West Ham on transfer deadline day, but he and compatriot, striker Carlos Tevez, have failed to reproduce their international form. Mascherano has played just five times for West Ham and it was thought FIFA regulations would prevent him from playing for another club this season after also appearing for Corinthians.
  
  But Mirror Sport understands his representatives MSI are "totally unconcerned" by the ruling and that whichever club he moves to will apply to FIFA for special dispensation. The Kop deal depends on the sale of the club to a Dubai-based consortium.
