Juventus have been busy handing out new deals to some of their players in recent seasons, and the next man will be Manuel Locatelli.
The midfielder has been a linchpin for the club since joining them last season and is expected to continue to perform well on their books.
Juve want to make sure he stays with them for a long time and are now looking to lock him into a new long-term deal.
A report on Calciomercato reveals that Locatelli is next in line for a new deal with Juve and they intend to start talking to him about an extension as soon as they pay the first installment of his transfer fee in early 2023.
Juve FC says
Locatelli is one of our best players and should stay with us for a long time as he continues to develop his career.
The midfielder is also a key player in the Italian team and several clubs continue to pay attention to him.
He loves to play for us and we must reciprocate that love by offering him a long-term deal, which is the easiest way to make him feel valuable.
Hopefully we’ll add more quality talent to our team at the end of this season to stay competitive.
