The Swiss full-back’s current deal had been due to expire in the summer, leading to speculation that the 30-year-old could leave the Bianconeri.
Rumours linked the former Lazio man with the likes of Arsenal, Manchester City and even Roma, but Juventus have today announced that Lichtsteiner will stay in Turin, after signing a new two-year deal, with an optional third year.
“134 appearances, 11 goals, three Scudetti and countless miles travelling up and down the wing,” a statement on the club’s official website began.
“Stephan Lichtsteiner, in his fourth season at Juventus has already given a lot of joy to the fans, and he won’t stop doing so.
“The full-back has signed a new deal for two more years, with the club having the option of a one year extension.
“The journey of the Swiss Express continues on the Juve flank!”
