Daniele Rugani Officially Extends His Contract With Juventus Until 2023

Juventus centre-back Daniele Rugani has put pen to paper on a new long-term contract in Turin which will extend his stay at the club until 2023.

The Italy international first joined the Bianconeri in 2012 on loan from Empoli, a move which convinced them to spend £4.5m on his signature three years later.

Rugani has gone on to make 81 appearances for the club during that time, working largely as the understudy to Giorgio Chiellini, Leonardo Bonucci and Andrea Barzagli.

But the 24-year-old is widely seen as the future for Juventus as well as with the Azzurri, and on Thursday it was confirmed that Rugani had signed a new four-year contract with Massimiliano Allegri's side.
