Tevez, whose two-year loan deal with Manchester United is coming towards an end, has been linked with a summer switch to Merseyside.

The striker could again link-up with his Argentina international team-mate after the pair arrived together in England with West Ham United in summer 2006.

And Mascherano, who joined Liverpool in January 2007, would be delighted to be playing alongside his fellow South American again next season.

"It would be great to have Carlos here with me, I know how good he is," he said.

"But I don't really know what the situation is. It is certainly a difficult one.

"I don't know exactly what is happening. The only thing I can say is that he is a great player and a great person."

General manager Uli Hoeness told DSF: "We will start talks next week and then we will see what comes of it.

"I would say he is a very interesting player and I am relatively optimistic."

Gomez has 33 goals in all competitions to his name this season, having also netted six times in the UEFA Cup and three times in the DFB-Pokal.

Bayern stand firm on Ribery

Bayern Munich's general manager Uli Hoeness has turned up the heat on clubs trying to sign Franck Ribery, insisting that the French ace is worth at least 100million euros.

Chelsea and Manchester United have both been linked with 26-year-old forward in recent times, but Bayern remain adamant that they do not want to part with Ribery.

Hoeness told Bild: "If I hear that there was an offer for 125million euros for Kaka, then Ribery has a market value of at least 100million.

"But I don't want to talk about a fee we would consider because we want to keep hold of Franck."

Hoeness had earlier told the same newspaper: "If a player comes to ask for a transfer, we will listen to him and consider his appeal.

"However, no-one has been in touch with us yet and I can only insist I will not answer the phone if there are clubs willing to make such bids.

"You will not even get a leg of Franck Ribery for £45million."

Meanwhile, the Blues are reported to have agreed a deal to sign CSKA Moscow's Yuri Zhirkov.

The 25-year-old midfielder has been a long-term target for the Blues, with a representative of the Russia international claiming that Zhirkov had already agreed terms to move to England.

He told Russian newspaper Tvoi Den: "Zhirkov recently signed a contract with the British club. The transfer is not being announced as it was agreed in the strictest confidence."

"Carlo was the outstanding candidate for the job. He has proved over a long period his ability to build teams that challenged for and have been successful in, major domestic and European competitions.

"He also had a highly successful playing career in those competitions and therefore brings unparalleled all-round experience to the job.

"We are sure everybody at Chelsea will give him a warm welcome and we are all looking forward to working with him."

Ancelotti had commented after a 2-0 win over Fiorentina confirmed Milan's place in the Champions League next season: "In agreement with the club we have decided to terminate the contract a year early from its 2010 expiry.

"I think it ends in the right way and is probably the right choice for both of us.

Cristiano Ronaldo claimed 'everything went wrong' as Manchester United lost the Champions League Final 2-0 to Barcelona.

United had started brightly in the Rome but never recovered from falling a goal behind after ten minutes and Ronaldo blamed a combination of below-par performances and questionable tactics.

"I cannot explain," said the world and European player of the year, who was eclipsed on the night by a host of Barca players including Lionel Messi, Xavi and Andres Iniesta.

"We, the players, were not well, the tactics were not good... everything went wrong.

"We have to give credit to Barcelona, but they were a bit lucky to be here because Chelsea did not deserve to lose and no-one has mentioned that.

"I have to congratulate Barcelona. They were better, but football is just like this - only the winners get talked about."

Meanwhile, Ronaldo admitted the defeat at the Stadio Olimpico 12 months on from winning the Champions League in Moscow was the biggest disappointment of his career.

"We were always confident before the game but unfortunately we couldn't do it," added the Portugal international.

"This is one of the biggest disappointments of my career."
