The Bianconeri have handed new contracts to two of their ‘priority’ players over the last few weeks: First to posterboy Kenan Yildiz, whosewages have more than tripled from €1.7m to around €6m per season, reflecting his star status within the Bianconeri squad.

Contract extensions continue to be a hot topic of conversation in Juventus circles, as head coach Luciano Spalletti still needs to settle his long-term future and the club’s highest earner, Dusan Vlahovic, will walk away from the club for free at the end of the season unless an agreement over a new deal is found before then.
Veteran goalkeeper Carlo Pinsoglio has also been sounded out for an extension to his contract.

According to reports fromLa Gazzetta dello Sport, Juventus will also seek to agree a new contract with captain Locatelli in the near future.
Locatelli is currently under contract until the summer of 2028, havingpenned a five-year extension in 2023. He reportedly earns a net salary of around €3.5m per season on his current deal.
Locatelli has become an increasingly key player for Juventus this season, particularly following the appointment of Spalletti as head coach, which initially came as a surprise given that Locatelli was regularly overlooked when Spalletti was in charge of the Italy national team
As per La Gazzetta dello Sport, the relationship between Spalletti and Locatelli is said to be in a great place, and both seem keen to extend their long-term futures to Juventus.
