Nicolò Fagioli expressed his joy after signing a new contract with Juventus, despite being suspended for illegal gambling. ‘I will always be grateful and thankful.’
The midfielder handed himself in to authorities in October when realising his gambling addiction had got out of control.
He was given a seven-month plea bargain, meaning he will be available to play the final game of the current Serie A season.
Meanwhile, today Juve extended his contract by two years to 2028, including a pay rise, confirming their support during this time.
“I am happy and honoured to sign my new contract with Juventus,” wrote Fagioli on Instagram.
“I grew up at Juve as man and a player, now this bond will continue to grow.
“I want to thank my family, the fans, my teammates and all the members of Juventus for their support.
“I WILL ALWAYS BE GRATEFUL AND THANKFUL. TO THE END.”
The 22-year-old had joined the club’s academy as a 14-year-old and made his senior debut in 2021.
