Javier Mascherano has signed his contract extension at Barcelona, having agreed a deal in July, with Neymar set to follow suit later this week.
Argentina defender Mascherano, who joined Barca from Liverpool just over six years ago, has committed until June 2019.
The 32-year-old had been linked with a move away from the Nou Camp this summer, with strong rumours of a transfer to Juventus.
Mascherano has won 17 trophies with the Catalans while making 290 appearances for the club.
A statement on Barcelona's official website read: "Javier Mascherano put pen to paper on his improved contract extension with FC Barcelona that will keep him at the club until 30 June 2019."
Brazil forward Neymar had similarly agreed a new contract over the summer to keep him with the Primera Division champions until 2021 and is set to put pen to paper on Friday.
The club tweeted on Monday: "@neymarjr will sign new contract on Friday that will keep him at the club until June 2021."
