Juventus affirms that Manuel Locatelli has signed new contract until 2028

Juventus have affirmed that midfielder Manuel Locatelli has signed

his contract for the rest of the 2027-28 season.

The 25-year-old enjoyed two years loan with Massimiliano Allegri‘s side from Sassuolo,

who then, at that point, offered him to

the Bianconeri for all time for €30m (£26.2m) this summer.

Since showing up in Turin quite a while back,

Locatelli has previously piled up north of a century of appearances for Juventus,

turning out multiple times and concocting four goals and eight assists.

The Italy international who was a piece of his country’s victorious Euro 2020 squad

has begun each of the 11 of his side’s Serie A matches up until this point this season,

scoring the champ against previous club AC Milan on October 22.

Prior to subscribing to Juventus in 2021,

Locatelli was firmly connected with a transition to Premier League giants Arsenal,

yet the Old Woman has now secured their midfield support as long as possible.

Addressing Juve’s web-based entertainment channels in

the wake of putting pen to paper on his new contract,

the 25-year-old said: “Howdy folks, I’m truly cheerful and fulfilled to have resigned my contract.

“This shirt means the world to me, and I truly feel comfortable here.

I love all of your parcels, sending you a major embrace, and, as usual, Forza Juve!

“Locatelli has turned into the 10th Juventus player to have

his contract stretched out in 2023 following recharges for Danilo,

Wojciech Szczesny, Adrien Rabiot, Federico Gatti, Fabio Miretti, Kenan Yildiz,

Carlo Pinsoglio and Arkadiusz Milik.

Rabiot’s terms just run for the rest of the ongoing effort,yet Juve is currently

expected to direct their concentration toward a new contract for the Frenchman,

who has for some time been connected with a transfer to Manchester United together.

A new report guaranteed that the Bianconeri are sure of concurring another agreement with Rabiot,

which would be another genuinely necessary midfield support following

the Paul Pogba and Nicolo Fagioli embarrassments.

Pogba stays suspended by the club forthcoming the result of a doping examination,

having tested positive for non-endogenous testosterone recently,

and the Frenchman might have his contract ended in the event that he is given an extensive boycott.

In the meantime, the Italian FA suspended Fagioli for a

considerable length of time in October because of the midfielder’s contribution to unlawful betting and

Juventus is being tipped to focus on a new midfielder in

January in the midst of connections with Arsenal’s Thomas Partey,

Tottenham Hotspur’s Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and Manchester City’s Kalvin Phillips.

Allegri’s men sit second in the Serie A table two points behind pioneers

Inter Milan returns to activity with a home clash against

recently advanced Cagliari on Saturday night.
