Being previously rumored as one of those who could be leaving Barcelona last season, it seems that Javier Mascherano’s fate significantly change in recent time, especially after his fine performance at World Cup 2014.

The Argentinian international has now penned a new deal at Camp Nou, which will see him remain at the Catalan side for four more years, showing an utmost trust from Barca towards Mascherano.

That new deal brought many joy for the former Liverpool man as he is hoping to fulfill his deal with Barcelona and stay until his contract ends. Mascherano also keen on winning some titles this new season, after failing to win anything last time around.

Despite being mostly known as a defensive midfielder, Mascherano has been playing more as a center back at Barcelona and has actually done quite positive job at that role.
