“We are close to renewing the contract of Aronica,” agent Alessandro Moggi told Radio CRC. “All that is missing is the signature and that should come in the next few days.”

It’s expected that the defender will put pen to paper on an agreement until June 2013, with an option for another 12 months.

The 33-year-old has made 17 appearances in Serie A so far this season.
