Mascherano signs new contract with Barcelona

The versatile Argentinian has signed a new contract with the Catalan club that will keep him there until June 2019.

A deal had been agreed in principle in July, but the Argentinian has only just wrapped up the new deal now.

Mascherano had been linked with a move away from the Camp Nou, but has put all transfer speculation to bed by signing a new deal.

The 32-year-old joined from Liverpool in 2010, making 289 appearances and winning 17 trophies.
