# Wolves: Saiss earns 12-month contract extension

**Wolves will extend the contract of versatile defender Romain Saiss due to a clause in his current deal related to the number of games played, according to reports.**

### Saiss set to extend for 12 months

[The report from Express and Star has revealed](https://www.expressandstar.com/sport/football/wolverhampton-wanderers-fc/2021/03/18/exclusive-wolves-romain-saiss-earns-one-year-contract-extension/) that Saiss has earned a new 12-month deal, as his current contract was set to run out in the summer.

He is now set to be a valuable member of the club’s first-team squad next season and the 30-year-old will also be one of Wolves’ longest-serving players as only Conor Coady has been at the club longer than the Moroccan. Saiss is valued at [£9m right now.](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/romain-saiss/marktwertverlauf/spieler/204198)

In the current season, Saiss has made 23 appearances in all competitions. He has also scored two goals, scoring against Tottenham and Brighton ([as per Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/romain-saiss/leistungsdaten/spieler/204198)).

### Saiss deserves a new contract

In the current campaign, Saiss has picked up a rating of 6.88 for Nuno’s side – only three players have picked up better ratings than him ([as per Whoscored](https://whoscored.com/Teams/161/Show/England-Wolverhampton-Wanderers)).

It shows his consistency as a defender and the fact that he has been regular contributor to the side, due in no small part to his ability to play at centre-back, left-back or even in midfield. Whether he continues to play a major role or just offers depth next season, there is no doubt the club will benefit from keeping him around.
