“Claudio is living every child’s dream,” Agnelli said in a Press conference to announce the renewal.
“To come to Juventus at seven years old, and move up every level of the youth set-up, before reaching the first team and also wearing the captain’s armband.
“I think if a kid were to imagine the ideal path in a club like Juventus, it would be difficult to do better than that, I think it’s something quite unique in a place like this.
“Claudio is already a legend, he’s already part of the museum, and though he’s not yet 30, he’s made over 300 appearances for Juventus, so he’s already among our greats.
“Claudio is the point of contact between the Juventus of yesterday and the Juventus of tomorrow.
“Even before today he could be considered a senator, but now, with a renewal for the next five years, which means he could end his career at Juventus, he is, in effect, a senator.
“This is a great honour, but it also means big responsibilities for Claudio.”
