Chiellini & Barzagli Sign New Juventus Contracts
Giorgio Chiellini and Andrea Barzagli have agreed new contracts to extend their stays with Serie A champions Juventus, the club has confirmed.
Chiellini, who was recently named Bianconeri captain, has committed to the club for a further two years until 2020, while his longstanding rearguard partner, Barzagli, has renewed until 2019.
With 472 Juve appearances to his name, Chiellini is currently the club’s seventh-longest serving player of all time and he is certainly set to climb that leaderboard over the course of the next two years.
The just-finished 2017/18 campaign was another memorable one for ‘King Kong’ as he made 38 appearances across all competitions leading a Juventus backline that allowed just 24 goals in Serie A. Meanwhile, his sterling performances in Europe earned him a place in the UEFA Champions League Squad of the Season.
