Spalletti agrees to sign long-term contract at Juventus

 

 

Juventus and Luciano Spalletti are keen to continue their partnership beyond the current season, with earlier suggestions indicating that the manager preferred a short-term extension. Initially, it was believed he would commit to just one more year at the club. ............

 

Juventus have tasked Spalletti with rebuilding the team and has been engaged in discussions over extending his stay. Several reports had suggested that he would sign a one-year deal, maintaining his short-term approach.

 

However, a new development indicates that he has agreed to a contract running until the summer of 2028. This effectively represents a longer commitment than initially expected and signals increased confidence from both parties. ............

 

Juventus view Spalletti as the ideal manager to lead them back to consistent success. His tactical understanding and leadership have already made a positive impression, encouraging the club to place its trust in him for the coming years.

 

With this renewed commitment, the club are expected to support him more strongly in the transfer market. Plans are in place to provide him with higher-quality players during the summer window, ensuring he has the necessary tools to achieve improved results. ............

Giletti says Spalletti has worked miracles at Juventus

 

 

Luciano Spalletti has made Juventus a much more difficult team to play against since taking charge during the final months of last year. The manager has quickly restored organisation and competitiveness, with the club now showing greater consistency and resilience on the pitch. ............

 

Juventus are currently fighting to finish the season inside the top four, which would represent a strong achievement given recent circumstances. Many observers believe this push may not have been possible without Spalletti’s influence since his arrival. His impact has been visible in both results and performances.

 

The manager has worked hard to improve the squad from the moment he arrived in Turin. Players have responded positively to his methods. ............

 

As performances have improved, Massimo Giletti has suggested that Spalletti’s influence has been transformative. He said:

 

“The architect of this miracle, of what we can see in Juventus today, is Spalletti alone. The players are the same; it’s not a small piece, but a brick from which to build the new Juventus. Which must rely on Spalletti and Chiellini. Chiellini must ascend to important, decision-making roles. Football must return to the hands of those who have played football; managers must be managers. Player selection should be made by those who are competent, not those who choose with algorithms.” ............

Spalletti growing frustrated at Juventus delays and is expecting 5 new signings

 

 

Thursday’s reports claim that Luciano Spalletti is growing frustrated at Juventus’s lack of activity in the transfer window and that he is still expecting five more new signings including two new additions at centre-forward.

 

The Old Lady have brought in two new signings so far this window: Former Roma full-back Zeki Celik on a free transfer and teenage centre-forward Jeff Ekhator from Genoa, who has since picked up an injury and is expected to be sidelined for around three weeks. ............

 

Spalletti is still expecting at least five more new signings ahead of the 2026-27 campaign, including two options at centre-forward following the departure of Dusan Vlahovic at the end of his contract on June 30.

 

The club, after weeks of negotiations, have not yet secured a deal with Paris Saint-Germain for Randal Kolo Muani, but are still hoping to get the signing over the line according to the latest updates. Juventus are now reportedly willing to increase their offer above the €40m for the Frenchman.

 

Juventus are also exploring a possible loan deal for Manchester United’s Joshua Zirkzee and a permanent deal for Parma’s Mateo Pellegrino. Tottenham’s Richarlison has also been mentioned as an outside possibility.

 

Spalletti is also desperate for a new goalkeeper to replace Michele Di Gregorio, but Juventus have thus far been unable to finalise transfers for either Emiliano Martinez from Aston Villa or for Alisson Becker from Liverpool. Parma’s Zion Suzuki and Tottenham’s Guglielmo Vicario are among the alternatives. ............

 

Spalletti would ideally like one more addition in midfield and another on the left side of defence. It is also increasingly likely that Douglas Luiz is reintegrated into the squad for the season.

 

As things stand, exactly one month away from the start of Juve’s Serie A season, Spalletti feels that he only has three or four ‘starters’ available in training. Those would be Manuel Locatelli, Andrea Cambiaso and Pierre Kalulu, potentially Zeki Celik or Lloyd Kelly as well. ............

 

This leaves a training group that features a large selection of players that are not part of Spalletti’s plans heading into the 2026-27 season, including the likes of Di Gregorio, Joao Mario, Edon Zhegrova, Lois Openda and Arkadiusz Milik. Spalletti has told some of his players in recent days that: ‘I will still be here, but a lot of you won’t’.

 

Thursday’s report claims that the club still has full faith in CEO Giovanni Carnevali, who is beginning to act with more urgency. ............

How Luciano Spalletti will use Juventus two new signings

 

 

After Randal Kolo Muani, Juventus are closing in on an agreement to sign Kerim Alajbegovic from Bayer Leverkusen after his superb season at RB Salzburg last time.

 

The teenager was groomed at Leverkusen, but they sold him to Salzburg and included a buy-back clause in the deal. After his excellent season at the Austrian club, Leverkusen quickly activated the clause to bring him back into their plans. ............

 

Juventus have hijacked his move to Chelsea after it appeared clear that he would move to London, and the teenager is now set to become one of the key men at Juve. His ability to play in midfield and on the wings has made him an attractive option for several clubs.

 

The player’s versatility has increased his value, and Juventus believe he can become an important part of their plans. The Bianconeri are looking to strengthen their squad and see Alajbegovic as a player with the quality to contribute immediately. ............

 

Although he can operate in different positions, Luciano Spalletti intends to use him through the middle, just behind Kolo Muani.

 

The Frenchman will be supported by the creativity of the Bosnian star as Juventus look to perform well this season and potentially win the Scudetto. Alajbegovic’s attacking qualities could provide another dimension to their team.

 

Juventus know they are signing a talented young player, and Alajbegovic understands he is joining one of the top clubs in the world. ............

 

The midfielder will now look to continue his development with a major club after impressing during his time at RB Salzburg. ............
