Juventus have been working hard to secure the future of Samuel Iling-Junior after his impressive performance with his first team.
The youngster joined them from Chelsea in 2020 and has become a key player for their Next Gen team.
He is one of the players that Max Allegri has been watching in the lower categories of the club and the coach gave him some opportunities before the World Cup break.
Iling-Junior took them and caught the eye of several clubs in Europe who could promise him a quicker path to more first-team football.
However, Juve wanted to keep him in their squad and have been in talks with his representatives about a new contract, which has been going on for some time.
The Bianconeri were concerned that they could lose a great talent, but a report in Tuttomercatoweb reveals that they have found a breakthrough and are set to sign a new contract until 2027.
Juve FC says
Iling-Junior is one of the best youth players in our club now and we cannot lose him for any reason.
The youngster showed in the few games he played for us that he is a top-level player who can deliver if we can trust him.
We hope that he will continue to improve and that he will play an important role for us in the return of football next year.
