Mascherano farewell to Barca, to China to play - Sports #26
Javier Mascherano ended the seven-and-a-half year deal for Barca by wearing a Hebei shirt.
Delivering a press release on Tuesday, Barca confirmed the news of Mascherano's split. Argentine defender prepares to play for Hebei China Fortune at the 2018 Chinese championship.
Mascherano's arrival in China has been speculated long ago. The 33-year-old wants to play regularly to prepare for the World Cup, while Barca can not meet because there are not many alternatives like Gerard Pique, Samuel Umtiti, Thomas Vermaelen.
According to Goal , Hebei China Fortune will spend $ 12 million to buy Mascherano. The Argentine star will also be one of the highest paid players in the Chinese championship as well as the world.
In order not to fall into the passive force, Barca soon bought midfielder Yerry Mina from Palmeiras (Brazil). Colombian recruits cost $ 14 million.
He has played 334 games and won 18 titles. The '14' is also one of Barca's most successful epochs.
Although coming to the Nou Camp as a defensive midfielder, Mascherano shines primarily in central defense. Argentine star is also the fourth foreigner to play for Barca after Messi, Cocu and Dani Alves.
