Well spotted Coochiee,
I had forgotten he was on a 1 year deal (+1 in case of promotion to Serie B). Transfermarkt says his contract ends in June 2023 so one more year.
Though it hasn't been announced, this article seems to confirm that he has renewed his contract for another season. It's dated a couple of weeks' back so quite recent. Also in a recent interview, where Niko complained he had unfortunately missed out on both Serie B and the World Cup in the space of 3 days, he also said he was looking at the positives, including the fact that he'd been made to feel like Padova was his family.
Had he been a free agent, he would have said something about looking for a new club, or waiting on Padova to make him an offer. I'm pretty sure he is staying.
