ESPN FC: Not looking too far ahead, but could Neymar become Barca's next leader?
Mascherano: I don't have too long left myself, so I'm not sure. I am 33; it's clear that I have very little time left at this level with Barcelona. I don't know if it will be one or two more years, but beyond that, I can't see what my future will be. In the case of Ney, obviously he is young, and I hope he's here with Barcelona for many more years. He is a really important player for the club. Because of his age, he's the future of the club, and we hope we can keep on counting on him.
ESPN FC: Has he been affected by the Paris Saint-Germain reports?
Mascherano: No, no, he's accustomed to the pressure and people talking. There's always going to be rumours and news around him.
