Barcelona locked up an integral piece to their defensive unit on Tuesday.

The club announced Javier Mascherano signed a four-year contract that will see him remain with the Catalan giants through June 2018. 

Mascherano's deal includes an option for a fifth year as well as a buy-out clause of 100 million euros. 

"I’m committed to this club until the final day of the contract," Mascherano told reporters. "I hope I can live up to expectations of the club”

"I’m really happy to be in this great club and be part of a squad with such great players. Let’s hope things go really well for us this season. We’re looking forward to this season after some difficult times last campaign."

The Argentine international has made 112 appearances for Barcelona since joining the club in 2010 and was one of the standout performers at the World Cup in Brazil.
