All that remained was to sign and seal the deal and at midday today Javier Mascherano did just that, extending his contract at Barcelona until 2018, with the option of an additional year. The buy-out clause inserted into the Argentina international's agreement with the club stands at 100 million euros. The accord was reached as the fruit of intensive negotiations at the end of last season despite Rafa Benítez's attempts to lure Mascherano, who is one of Luis Enrique's dressing room bulwarks, to Naples.
"I am very happy to carry on at this great club and to share the dressing room with great players. The hope this season is that things go well. We are newly invigorated after going through some touch moments last season. My intention is to commit myself to this club until the final day of my contract. I only hope I can live up to the standards of this institution," Mascherano said.
