Juventus are happy with Luciano Spalletti’s work and plans for a contract extension are underway. The manager agreed to a one-season contract with options if Bianconeri Qualify for the Champions League, Gazzetta dello Sport inform.
The Old Lady have been improving in recent weeks but are yet to break into the top four. Regardless, it’s unlikely the front office will wait until the end of the season to determine the future of the bench. All components of the team also performed well off the pitch and were frictionless in their respective areas. The coach knows the financial constraints, so his demands on the transfer market are not too high.

Juventus bosses are planning to extend Spalletti’s contract for two years until 2028, once they clear the January transfer window. Officials are concerned that the coach could attract interest from other teams if he cannot be retained long-term. The manager will receive €3 million plus add-ons for this campaign, which will serve as a starting point for future negotiations.
Additionally, this move will ensure stability and help them with some tricky scaling. Kenan Yildiz, for example, wants to ensure they can compete at the highest level before extending his contract.
Our thoughts on Juventus and Spalletti
It’s a natural fit and their progress on the court is evident. Considering their attempts to bring in up-and-comers have exploded, the only way they could do better is if Antonio Conte decides to jump ship and return, but there’s really no reason for him to leave Napoli. They should resolve the issue, at least informally, by March at the latest.
