Argentina midfielder Javier Mascherano passed a medical to seal his transfer from Liverpool to Barcelona on Monday.
The 26-year-old Mascherano underwent a five-hour "exhaustive" review, according to team doctor Ricard Pruna.
Mascherano agreed to a four-year contract, with Spanish reports putting the fee for the ball-winning midfielder at $28 million.
Mascherano, who also played at West Ham and Corinthians, is a natural replacement for the departed Yaya Toure in the Spanish champion's lineup.
