The Argentinian midfielder yesterday completed a permanent move to Liverpool and was delighted to finally put an end to this long running saga.
"I am very, very happy and now I can concentrate just on playing football," Mascherano told the club's official website.
"I said all along that I wanted to stay at Liverpool and now that I have signed I can say this is the best and the biggest moment in my career so far.
"From the first day I arrived at Liverpool the feeling was good and I knew this was where I wanted to play my football. It's good news for me and my family that everything is sorted and I know where my future is going to be. I just want to do my best for the fans and the people of the club.
"I am at a top side and I know I can win titles here. That's the big thing for me. I want to be at a club where we can win trophies and have success."
