The Montreal Impact have signed All-Star playmaker Ignacio Piatti to a contract extension, the MLS side announced Thursday.
Montreal did not reveal the length of the contract, simply confirming that Piatti will remain at Stade Saputo beyond the original expiration of his terms in June 2018.
"We are very excited that Nacho has decided to stay in Montreal," Impact president Joey Saputo said in a news release. "He is a world-class player who belongs among the league's elite. Our supporters will have the opportunity to continue to enjoy his great qualities, which will help us reach our objectives."
Piatti has recorded 52 goals and 24 assists in 98 MLS matches since signing with the Impact from San Lorenzo as a designated player in July 2014.
