Stuttgart (AP) - Captain Gonzalo Castro can hope for an extension of his contract with VfB Stuttgart, which expires at the end of the season.

«You can see how important it is to the team.

Of course, I can imagine Gonzo staying with us for another year, ”said coach Pellegrino Matarazzo after the Swabians 1-0 (0-0) against SV Werder Bremen in the Bundesliga on Sunday.

"We are talking to the player and his agent and will see that we can find the best possible solution for the club and the player."

The former national player Castro moved from Borussia Dortmund to VfB in 2018 and was then relegated and promoted again.

Since this season, the 33-year-old has been leading the Stuttgart team as captain on the field.

The midfielder had already emphasized several times that he did not want to end his career in the summer.
