Federico Bernardeschi assures his intention is to ‘remain at Juventus’ and his agent will meet with the club to discuss a possible contract extension.

The versatile Italy international will be a free agent at the end of this season, as his current deal only runs to June 2022.

According to Calciomercato.com, he would only be offered a new contract if he was to accept a pay cut.

He currently earns €4m per season and the proposal would only be €2.5-3m including bonuses.

“We are open to dialogue and my agent will meet with Juve,” Bernardeschi told DAZN.

“I do want to remain at Juventus, then obviously you need two to reach an agreement. It’s like a marriage.”

The 27-year-old scored one goal and provided six assists in 19 competitive matches for Juventus so far this season.

He was signed from Fiorentina for €40m in the summer of 2017.

“There is a tradition in the locker room where whoever renews their contract pays for dinner for the entire squad. If that day comes for me, I will be happy to buy the dinner.”
