Juventus working on Manuel Locatelli’s new contract | OneFootball

Juventus have made the decision to move forward with a contract extension for Manuel Locatelli, solidifying the midfielder’s position as a pillar of the club’s future.

According to Il Giornale, as relayed by TuttoJuve, the next few weeks are expected to be key in finalizing the details of the new deal. The choice to extend his stay in Turin has been driven largely by his impressive performances on the pitch and his rapid rise as a genuine leader within the squad. Under the guidance of Luciano Spalletti, Locatelli has taken on a more central role, becoming a vital tactical reference point for the manager.

The management views the former Sassuolo man as an indispensable part of the Bianconeri project, both for his technical output and his influence in the dressing room. With negotiations set to intensify shortly, Juventus are eager to secure his long-term commitment and reward the maturity he has displayed throughout the current campaign.

Locatelli’s current contract expires in 2028 and Juve’s goal is to bring it forward to 2030.
