After a long negotiation, which has been going on since last year, Santos have finally renewed the contract of young defender Gustavo Henrique.
The 22-year-old, who came through the youth system of the club, is now tied to the Vila Belmiro side until January 31, 2020. Gustavo’s previous contract was supposed to expire this December, at the end of the 2016 Brazilian Championship. Therefore, from the middle of the year, the player was free to sign a pre-contract with any team, and this was fundamental to the acceleration of negotiations. After undergoing knee surgery in 2014, Gustavo Henrique had a season of ups and downs in 2015, but ended the year as a starter for Santos. Since the start of the current season, Gustavo has been a member of the starting XI, especially due to the shortage of defenders in the squad. In total, he has played 83 times for the Brazilian club, scoring four goals.
