Andrea Barzagli’s agent, Claudio Orlandini, is hopeful that his client will soon sign a new contract with Juventus.

The 32-year-old Azzurri international has been plagued by tendon injuries in recent times but, speaking to tuttojuve.com, his agent insisted that a new deal to keep the player with the Old Lady may not be far off.

“We are in discussions,” Orlandini said. “Soon we could reach an agreement.”

The agent has however admitted to not knowing exactly when his client will return to action.

“I’m not sure when he’ll be back to full fitness,” he remarked.

“I don’t have a crystal ball, we are assessing it every so often.

“The problem he is suffering from at the moment is different to the one he has had previously with his tendons.

“At the moment he is looking to overcome a muscular injury and it is not linked to his previous problems.”
