Ahead of the upcoming season, Juventus has secured the futures of two key players: a seasoned veteran and a rising star who has already made a significant impact. Daniele Rugani and Andrea Cambiaso have both signed contract extensions, with Rugani’s deal now running until 2026 with an option for 2027 based on personal targets, while Cambiaso’s contract has been extended up to 2029 with an increase in salary to €2.5 million per season. Despite Rugani’s lower salary of less than €2 million, he will play a crucial role in Juventus’ upcoming campaign in five different competitions, providing valuable experience and leadership to the team, especially to the younger players.
Rugani’s decision to stay at Juventus was influenced by the potential opportunities he will have in the team’s defensive rotation, particularly with the return to a four-man backline. His experience and knowledge of the club will be instrumental as the team navigates through a period of transition. Likewise, Cambiaso, who impressed in his debut season with Juventus, was eager to extend his contract amidst interest from other top European clubs. With the arrival of Thiago Motta as coach, Cambiaso has established himself as a key player in the team’s new project, further highlighted by his call-up to the pre-Euro squad, pointing towards a promising future for the young talent.
As Juventus aims to revamp its squad under the guidance of sporting director Giuntoli, keeping players like Cambiaso and Rugani on board aligns with the club’s future plans. Both players bring a unique blend of experience and talent to the team, ensuring continuity and stability during a period of change. With Rugani and Cambiaso committed to the club until 2026 and 2029 respectively, Juventus looks set to build upon the successes of the past season in pursuit of domestic and international glory.
