The contract
includes an option for further extensions on an annual basis depending on how
often Iniesta plays, Rosell told a news conference.
"We are very, very
happy," Rosell said. "I think this is a great Christmas gift for all Barcelona
fans."
A product of Barca's academy, Iniesta joined the club in September
1996 at the age of 12, made his first-team debut in a Champions League game in
October 2002 and has gone on to help the Catalans win 21 trophies.
One of
the greatest moments of his club career came in the Champions League semi-finals
in 2009 when he scored a dramatic late goal at Chelsea that sent Barca through
to the final.
He is a hero to Spaniards after netting the extra-time
winner against Netherlands in South Africa in 2010 that secured the Iberian
nation's first World Cup.
