Juventus have officially announced that captain Manuel Locatelli has put pen to paper on a new long-term contract extension, which will tie him to the club until the summer of 2030.
Locatelli’s previous deal had been due to expire in the summer of 2028, and recent reports indicate that his new deal comes with an increase in wages from around €3m per season to roughly €4m per year.

The Italy international signed off on his contract on Friday, which was officially announced later on the same afternoon.
Locatelli joined Juventus in a €37.5m deal from Sassuolo in 2021 and has since gone on to make 224 appearances for the club across all competitions, registering nine goals and 17 assists during that time.
