Crucial for Juventus: Rabiot and Chiesa set to extend their contracts with the ‘Bianconeri’.

Short-term extensions on the way for 2 of the bianconeri’s most important players who will continue to receive the same salary.

Renew, renew, and renew it again. It’s the word that Cristiano Giuntoli, Juve’s sporting director, has been talking about with since arriving in Turin. The director won’t just spend his money because he can, he wants to be smart with it.

The profiles to handle and extend their contracts are plenty: from Rabiot to Chiesa, passing through Vlahovic and Bremer among others. However, seeing that their contract expire in 2024 and 2025 respectively the first 2 are the most urgent ones.

According to ‘Sport Mediaset‘ for the Frenchman, the possibility of another annual renewal at €8 million is gaining ground, with the player being open to extend his contract. On the other hand, the negotiations for Federico Chiesa are even more delicate, with the Juventus management having an important promise to deliver:

Without a renewal by next June, there is a real risk that Juventus would have to sell him at a reduced price to avoid losing him for free. With a one-year extension, until 2026, the problem would be postponed.

The player won’t leave on a free transfer, the Juve management won’t allow it. Giuntoli wants a one-year renewal in this case too: so that the Bianconeri wouldn’t find themselves forced to sell him at a discounted price next summer.

Chiesa’s salary would remain unchanged; €5 million per year, perhaps with the promise to consider a new offer if the player mantains the same level of commitment and results. Speaking of salaries: even for Adrien Rabiot, the amount won’t change, he would continue to recieve the €8 million he recieves right now.

Not a small sum for an Italian team, but considering his great displays this season, and looking how important and crucial the player is for coach Allegri, this would spare Giuntoli from having to search for another midfielder, along with additional transfer fees.”
