In recent weeks, there have been some conflicting reports about the future of Leonardo Bonucci.
While some claimed that the Juventus captain is leaving Turin (perhaps as early as January), others claimed that he will instead renew his contract until 2025.
These contrasting stories have left Bianconeri fans confused, and rightly so.
However, a report by Relevo (via ilBianconero) has shed light on the situation. Apparently no story is exactly accurate.
According to the source, Bonucci has signed or is about to sign a deal with the club, but this is not really a contract extension.
Instead, the two parties have certified an extension option for next season that already exists in the player’s contract.
Therefore, the deadline for the expiration of the captain’s deal will remain June 2024.

After the puzzling and contrasting reports about Leo’s future, this report certainly offers a logical explanation.
After all, the defender’s departure in January wouldn’t do the club much good, and neither would an untimely extension.
At this point, the wisest solution would be to maintain order until the end of the campaign, before deciding whether to continue the collaboration with the captain or find another solution.
Despite his current contract ending in 2024, an early termination remains a possibility, as happened last summer with Giorgio Chiellini.
