Juventus freeze renewals until March: Kalulu is the exception
Turin blocks contract extensions until March while the Champions League place is in doubt. Kalulu is pushing to go from 2.5 to around 4 million euros.
Juventus have decided to put the brakes on contract renewals: according to Corriere dello Sport, talks are on hold until March. The move follows recent extensions for Yildiz, Locatelli, McKennie and Nico Gonzalez, all with big pay rises and no clear jump in performance, while the club's Champions League hopes hang in the balance.
The exception is Pierre Kalulu, who has started all eleven league matches and has played under three coaches: Thiago Motta, Igor Tudor and Luciano Spalletti. He earns 2.5 million and wants to get close to 4. A middle ground is possible, but it is unclear whether he will accept it.
Douglas Luiz, Francisco Conceição, Kolo Muani and Khephren Thuram remain up in the air. Thuram's contract runs to 2029, but the club will not decide anything until spring.
