Edgar Barreto and Sampdoria will continue on together, as the blucerchiata club has decided over the past few months to take advantage of the player's automatic renewal option, which is linked to the number of appearances the player has. This extension will keep Barreto with the club until 2020. Below are Barreto's comments on the deal.
"Renewal? I already signed it two months ago. I extended the contract for one season, until June 2020. The club kept their word. It's an important sign from Sampdoria's side. A demonstration of great confidence and appreciation. It doesn't happen to everyone to have the possibility to sign an extension when you're no longer very young, and also injured. I like to think that I'm also appreciated as a locker room guy, for my human and professional qualities."
