Great news, the chances were not good of finding two players good enough to replace him. And Barca continues the good business of not signing older players for too long.

FC Barcelona and Éric Abidal have reached an agreement to extend the player’s contract by one year, until June 30th, 2013. The agreement includes a provision to extend the Frenchman’s contract until 2015, with automatic yearly renovations from 2013 through 2015.

The contract signing ceremony has yet to be determined.

Éric Abidal has played a total of 177 official games for FC Barcelona in the four and a half seasons he’s been at the Club. During his time as an Azulgrana, he has scored one goal - in last season’s Cup - and he successfully overcame the tumour on his liver, making him one of the fan favourites.

What a great news! Although sometimes, he doesn't put his heart and soul into his play, he sure is a great defender. He's good-enough to be there for two more years.
