Juventus duo set for new deals

Italian newspaper Il Corriere dello Sport claims that Juventus are in talks with two high-profile defenders.

After building a pretty strong squad, the Bianconeri are now focused on keeping hold of their key players and two new contracts appear on the horizon.

The most important deal is the one for in-demand full-back Alex Sandro, who is expected to extend his contract until June 2022.

The two parties are believed to have already found an agreement and there are only minor details left to be sorted.

At the same time, veteran defender Giorgio Chiellini will also sign a new deal reportedly worth €5 million per campaign, which will see him become the third highest paid footballer in the squad.

The 33-year-old was reportedly offered more by Premier League champions Chelsea, but he ultimately decided to remain in Turin.
