He has yet to feature under new Hammers boss Alan Curbishley and reports persist he will be allowed to leave Upton Park.
Curbishley is still assessing his squad, while Mascherano insists quitting West Ham has not crossed his mind.
But Juventus have been long-term suitors of the stylish midfielder and coach Didier Deschamps is a fan of the South American.
The latest reports in Italy suggest Juve are dispatching two officials to London in the coming days to meet with Mascherano's management company MSI.
The club hope to persuade MSI to move Mascherano out of West Ham and are willing to pay up to €8 million (£5.4 million) to arrange a deal.
Speculation has also claimed that the player has recently shunned interest from Liverpool in order to remain available for a switch to Italy.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hardly source of the century though.
