Pique is one of the symbols of La Masia and Barça played heavily on that in the announcement of the new deal.
The centre-back joined the club as a 10-year-old, briefly leaving for a spell at Manchester United before returning in 2008 for €5 million.
He has gone on to play over 400 games for Barcelona, winning 25 trophies, including six La Liga titles and three Champions Leagues.
