Spalletti Opens Up on Juventus Contract Renewal Ahead of International Break

Luciano Spalletti identified the upcoming international break as the ideal moment to sit down with Juventus and detail his contract renewal.

“The international break is the right time; there’s less stress.”

He emphasized his full willingness to listen to whatever the club wishes to propose, noting that discussions have already taken place in recent weeks.

Transfer Market Comments

When asked about future signings, Spalletti refused to give a straight answer, saying he feels “a bit silly” talking about next year while his own contract remains unsigned.

“Do you think I’m doing myself a favour or a disservice by talking about next year? From my point of view, talking about future signings… when I still have a contract to sign, I feel a bit silly.”

He added that there is plenty of time to address the transfer market later.

Potential Departures

Spalletti acknowledged that some players may leave, praising the squad and staff while expressing his reluctance to see anyone go.

“If I had to replace anyone, I’d be sorry, if I were the Juventus manager.”

He stressed his deep care for the players and the positive relationship he shares with them.

Renewal Progress

The manager’s eagerness to stay has driven the talks forward. Both sides are reporting positive discussions, with a one‑year contract extension plus an option drawing closer.

“Confidence is high on both sides, and the timeline is tightening further.”

As the negotiations progress, Juventus looks set to secure Spalletti’s services for the upcoming season.
