Juventus Extends Captain Manuel Locatelli to 2030 in Long-Term Squad Push

The move underscores a plan to secure core leaders, with reports pointing to Pierre Kalulu as the next renewal target.

Overview

  • Locatelli’s new contract, announced Friday, keeps the 28-year-old at Juventus until June 2030 after a prior 2028 end date.
  • Multiple outlets report the extension raises his salary to about €4 million per season from roughly €3 million.
  • The captain has 224 appearances with nine goals and 17 assists since arriving from Sassuolo in 2021, and he called the deal another dream come true.
  • The agreement follows fresh deals for coach Luciano Spalletti, Kenan Yildiz and Weston McKennie as Juventus locks in continuity.
  • Italian reports say Juventus plan talks with defender Pierre Kalulu, under contract to 2029, with a pay rise and a new 2030 or 2031 end date to fend off Premier League interest.
