Christhian Stuani, the 39-year-old Uruguayan striker and Girona's all-time top scorer, has agreed to renew his contract until 2027, marking his tenth season with the club. Despite Girona's relegation to the Spanish Second Division, Stuani will remain as captain and a key figure both on and off the pitch. His influence extends beyond scoring, as he is a locker room leader during a potential exodus after relegation. The renewal fits the club's reduced economic expectations, and Stuani aims to help return Girona to the First Division, possibly retiring at the club he considers home. Official confirmation is pending, but both parties were clear about continuing together.

Christhian Stuani (39 years old) is a living legend of Girona — and he will continue to be. The club's all-time top scorer has reached an agreement to renew his contract until 2027, according to Cadena SER. The captain will remain despite the team's relegation, marking his tenth season at the club and bringing him closer to his dream of retiring at Girona.
Pending official confirmation, Girona and Stuani will extend their relationship for another year following the club's drop to the Second Division. Although the attacker's contract expired on June 30, both the club and the player were clear in their desire to continue together. At 39 years old, the Uruguayan striker will remain at a club he considers his home.
His influence goes far beyond the pitch. As the club's all-time top scorer, Stuani is one of the key references in a locker room that could face an exodus after relegation.
Context and Outlook
Returning to the Second Division has altered the club's short-term plans, requiring a shift in both sporting and economic strategy with lowered expectations. In this context, Stuani is an ideal player — bringing experience, commitment, and fitting into the club's financial plans.
When relegation was confirmed, Stuani publicly expressed his intention to renew and his desire to retire at the Catalan club. The Uruguayan, who will turn 40 this season, has set his sights on returning Girona to the First Division — a feat that could serve as his final great service to the club.
