The 34-year-old Swiss international came off the bench today for his 300th Serie A appearance in the 3-1 victory over Bologna.
In the mixed zone following the final whistle, he told reporters that his experience in Turin was coming to an end.
“These are my last 14 days at Juventus. I need new challenges and motivation.”
His contract is due to expire on June 30 and he has been with the Bianconeri since 2011.
Lichtsteiner will not remain in Serie A, having played for Lazio from 2008 to 2011.
“I have improved in my mentality. I didn’t know what it meant to play at Juventus when I arrived, as there is pressure and obsession for the victory,” he then told Sky Sport Italia.
“At Lazio we had to defend in the final third, here in midfield. My future will be outside of Italy. I won’t say where yet, as I haven’t signed.”
