Reports recently seemed to suggest the end was near for Leonardo Bonucci as a Juventus player.
The defender is one of the oldest players in this Juve team and is also the captain of the group.
At 35 years old, injuries have begun to take their toll and the defender no longer plays as much as he used to.
That seems to suggest Juve are planning a life without him and some reports have even suggested he could leave the club in January.
Max Allegri had to deny those rumors in his press conference yesterday and a report on Tuttomercatoweb reveals that the centre-back could even sign a new deal with Juve.
His current contract expires in 2024, but Juve could extend it for another year to show their support.
Juve FC says
Bonucci has been a key player for us for a long time and the defender is still an important presence in the team today.
However, it makes little sense to offer him a new contract considering the current one will take him to 37.
Now is the time to find a replacement for him instead of giving him an extension.
