The story between Manuel Locatelli and Juventus has been extended under the banner of continuity, belonging, and responsibility: the contract renewal of the 1998-born midfielder is now official, and he will remain with Juventus until June 30, 2030.
"Juventus has always been my childhood dream. My family are all Juventus fans; we've always been Bianconeri. For me, being here is a double thrill because I'm joining a very strong and important club." These were Locatelli's words at the end of August 2021 —excited and determined—at his first press conference as a Juventus player.
Since that day, Manuel has come a long way, immediately managing to earn playing time and trust, becoming a key figure both on and off the pitch. Today, with 224 appearances, 9 goals, and 17 assists, his journey speaks of constant growth, poise, and total dedication to the cause.
His connection with our colours extends beyond the pitch. A Juventus fan since childhood, now captain, Manuel has always viewed Juventus as a dream to be achieved and defended, turning every training session and every match into an opportunity to demonstrate his dedication.
"We all remember when Manuel, upon his arrival in 2021, spoke with great emotion about having always been a Juventus fan," emphasized Damien Comolli, Juventus CEO. "His contract renewal therefore represents the natural continuation of the growth of his leadership on the pitch, of his indomitable Juventus spirit, in complete harmony with the values and ambitions of our Club. It is a further step towards giving solidity and continuity to our sporting project, with an eye to the future and the goal of making the team increasingly competitive."
