Argentina international Javier Mascherano has officially signed a new contract with Barcelona
that will keep him at the Nou Camp until 2016 and increases his buy-out
clause to €100 million.
Mascherano joined Barca from Liverpool for €22
million in 2010 and has racked up nearly 100 appearances for the club
having been converted from a defensive midfielder into a centre-back.
The 28-year-old, along with Sergio Busquets, is the only player that
hasn't missed a single match due to injury since the 2010-11 season and
is full of confidence for the coming campaign under a new manager.
"I am very happy that a club as big as this has offered to extend my
contract and I can feel relaxed that as long as I do things well, I can
stay here for many more years," Mascherano said.
Although the former River Plate, Corinthians and West Ham United player
has impressed with his defence qualities at Barcelona, he is yet to
score a goal for the club.
