Juventus are justifying these new deal, and pay rises thanks to the clubs turn of form. The Bianconeri started this season very poorly, as it looked they would be knocked out of the Champions League in the group stage. Igor Tudor was fired due to the poor form, who was then replaced by Luciano Spalletti.

Spalletti has turned this Juventus team, and despite recent struggles they have been successful in his tenure. This has lead to talks of him staying with Juventus past this season. Juventus struggled to find a serious manager last season, which is why Tudor was kept, and now one fell into their lap.

According to Nico Schira on X, Juventus will decide to keep Luciano Spalletti in the season. This comes as Juventus have reached an agreement in principle for a contract that will run until 2028. This is despite other European clubs trying to pry away Spalletti from Juventus throughout this season, mainly due to the Bianconeri improved form.
