Iago Aspas He appeared in front of the media this Thursday after signing a one-season extension last week. Press conference in which he was accompanied by the director of football. Marco Garces, “As a club, we are delighted to have one of our team’s greatest legends active, and what better way than to announce the extension of his contract for at least another year.”

The star of the Galician club has extended his contract until 2026, and the Vigo team announced it on their social networks with this spectacular video.
Very simple repair. “It wasn’t long after Christmas that we talked, and it took us five minutes. In two conversations, my brother and Marco Garces fixed what was there, and we decided to continue for another year after talking it over with my family.”
He decided to do it because he was still able to compete fully; “It was the first time in my career that I was so close to the end of my contract. I feel very good every day and, first of all, it shows in the games. If I had felt bad, the first would throw me aside.’
Marian Mourinho and Aspas were photographed with the commemorative cover of the event.
He does not know if it will be his last contract. “We’re taking it game by game. Right now I’m a year and a half away from the end of my new contract. Day by day and games will make us think. It’s true that I’ll finish this contract when I’m almost 39 , and we’ll see how I feel, I’ll continue here, enjoying my daily life, I don’t know what the future holds.
And, as he has always stated, he will hang up his boots as a Celtic. “I’ve said it on many occasions when I came back in 2015 and in previous updates and when there was interest from a lot of other teams. I said I’m coming back to be at home and create the beautiful family that I have today and I’d love to be there. until my mind and body tell me I can be on the field.
New challenges. “Keep breaking all the records you can and I’d like to, like all Celtic fans, celebrate a title, we’re not going to let ourselves down.”
And the future will lead him to stay with the club. “I talk to Marco Garces sometimes because I have a very good relationship with him. As you know, I like the topic of sports management. He has many years of experience and I absorb what we talk about It’s a job I’d like to do in the future.”
Claudio Giraldes, the key to renewal. “He and his coaching staff are very important. Daily life is what gives you an added bonus on the weekend. It’s also an award from the presidency and his board of directors.”
