Giorgio Chiellini has officially signed a new contract with Juventus that runs to June 2023, taking him through the 2022 World Cup.
The Italy captain was technically a free agent when lifting the UEFA EURO 2020 trophy at Wembley Stadium, as his contract had expired on June 30.
However, his return to Turin was never really in doubt and it was finalised this evening, upon his return from an extended summer vacation with Juve teammate Leonardo Bonucci and their families.
It is a two-year deal, as expected, because it’ll allow Chiellini to continue his career up to and beyond the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
That is scheduled for November and December 2022.
He turns 37 next month and will be almost 39 by the time the contract expires in June 2023.
It’s reported he will earn circa €2.5m per season.
Chiello joined the Bianconeri from Fiorentina in 2005 and was instrumental in winning nine consecutive Serie A titles.
The centre-back has 535 competitive games with Juve under his belt, scoring 36 goals.
