Contracts expired
“Role models in the field and in the cabin, rousing leaders, carriers of the Bianconeri DNA, for whom the jersey is like a second skin” – with these words Juventus announces the extension of the expiring contracts with goalkeeper icon Gianluigi Buffon and captain Giorgio Chiellini. The two Italian veterans, 42 and 35 years old, have extended their working papers until June 30, 2021, according to the record champions of the series A. “Gianluigi Buffon and Giorgio Chiellini. Captains. Figureheads. “
Together, Buffon and Chiellini play 1,178 competitive games for Juventus, ten championships and four cup wins. In the record player ranking, only Alessandro Del Piero stands with 706 appearances for his “old lady” in front of the goalkeeper (669), who switched from AC Parma to Turin in 2001 for the then record sum of 52.88 million euros and since then with the exception of his intermezzo with PSG laced the shoes for Juventus in the 2018/19 season.
Chiellini moved from ACF Fiorentina to Piedmont in 2005 and is ranked fifth among the eternal Juve record players with 509 games. At least Giuseppe Furino (528) is likely to overtake the 103-time international. Maybe he already had: But Chiellini missed the current season almost completely due to a cruciate ligament tear.
