Juventus Begin Working on Early Spalletti Extension | OneFootball

Juventus are pleased with the work of Luciano Spalletti, and the plan to renew his contract is in motion. The gaffer agreed to a season-long contract with an option should the Bianconeri qualify for the Champions League, La Gazzetta dello Sport informs.

The Old Lady has been marching in recent weeks, but isn’t yet in the top four. In any case, the management is unlikely to wait until the end of the season to sort out the future of their bench. The various components of the team have clicked outside the pitch too, tending to their respective areas without friction. The boss is aware of the financial constraints and hasn’t been too demanding on the transfer market.

The Juventus brass is plotting to offer Spalletti a two-year renewal, until 2028, once they have finished handling the January window. The officials are wary that the coach may attract interest from other sides if they fail to secure him long-term. The manager will pocket €3M plus add-ons this campaign, which will serve as the starting point for future negotiations.

In addition, the move would guarantee stability and help them with some tricky extensions. For instance, Kenan Yildiz wants assurances that they will compete at the highest level before prolonging his deal.

Our Take on Juventus and Spalletti

It has been a natural fit, and their improvement on the pitch has been manifest. Considering that their attempts to go with up-and-comers have burst into flame, the only way they could do better is if Antonio Conte decides to jump ship and return, but he really has no reason to depart Napoli. They should take care of this matter, at least unofficially, by March at the latest.
