Does this mean we can stop hearing about signing an unnecessary centre back?
Guess I was wrong as well, didn't think they'd settle this until it was decided if Henrique would stay or go... unless that is decided?
Apparently they want an extra centre-back compared with this season, so this renewal wouldn't change anything. It will be OR Henrique OR a new guy.
good news
