Danny da Costa's Mainz contract extended automatically after 36 appearances
Defender Danny da Costa's contract with 1. FSV Mainz 05 has been automatically extended, according to Kicker. The 32-year-old had originally been one of nine players whose deals were set to expire this summer.
The extension was triggered by a clause in the defender's contract, which stipulated that his deal would renew for another year once he reached a certain number of appearances—a condition that has now been met.
This season, da Costa has featured in 36 competitive matches for Mainz across all competitions.
