Rome, 17 April (LaPresse) – Manuel Locatelli has extended his contract with Juventus until 2030. “The story between Manuel Locatelli and Juventus continues in the spirit of continuity, belonging and responsibility: the contract renewal of the midfielder, born in 1998, is now official, and he will remain with the Bianconeri until 30 June 2030,” writes the Bianconeri club. “Juventus has always been my childhood dream. My whole family are Juventus fans; we’ve always been Bianconeri. For me, being here is doubly exciting because I’m joining a very strong and important club.’ Thus, at the end of August 2021, Locatelli appeared – emotional and determined – at a press conference. Since that day, Manuel has come a long way, immediately earning his place and trust, becoming a key figure both on and off the pitch season after season. Today, with 224 appearances, 9 goals and 17 assists, his journey tells a story of constant growth, balance and total dedication to the cause. His bond with these colours goes beyond the pitch. A Bianconeri fan since childhood, now captain, Manuel has always viewed Juventus as a dream to be realised and defended, turning every training session and every match into an opportunity to demonstrate his commitment.‘ ’We all remember when Manuel, upon his arrival in 2021, spoke with great emotion about having always been a Juventus fan," emphasised Damien Comolli, CEO of Juventus. His contract renewal therefore represents the natural continuation of the growth of his leadership on the pitch and his indomitable Bianconeri spirit, fully aligned with our Club’s values and ambitions. It is a further step towards bringing stability and continuity to our sporting project, with an eye to the future and the aim of making the team increasingly competitive.”
