Italian media outlets suggest that Juventus is preparing to extend Pierre Kalulu’s contract, making him the next player to secure his future with the club. This follows recent contract renewals for captain Manuel Locatelli, promising attacker Kenan Yildiz, and versatile midfielder Weston McKennie. Additionally, head coach Luciano Spalletti has also agreed to a contract extension.
Kalulu Poised for Improved Juventus Deal
Juventus has been actively working to secure the long-term commitments of its crucial players. Locatelli, Yildiz, and McKennie have all extended their stays with the Bianconeri until 2030, while Spalletti has committed to at least two more years, through to 2028.
According to Tuttosport, Pierre Kalulu is expected to be the next Juventus player to receive a contract extension. The French international has accumulated more playing time than any other Juventus player this season, with an impressive 3,841 minutes across 43 appearances in all competitions. This significantly surpasses the minutes of the second-most featured player, Lloyd Kelly, who has played 3,426 minutes.
Kalulu’s current contract is valid until the summer of 2029, meaning there is no immediate urgency for Juventus to finalize a new deal. However, reports from Sunday indicate a strong desire from the club to offer Kalulu a new agreement.
This potential new contract is expected to include an extension of one to two years, pushing his commitment to either 2030 or 2031, and will also feature an increase in his salary. Kalulu currently earns approximately €2.5 million per season, and Tuttosport suggests that his new deal could bring his earnings closer to Manuel Locatelli’s reported €4 million per season.
Meanwhile, Juventus is also facing the pressing issue of Dusan Vlahovic’s contract situation. The Serbian striker, who is currently injured, is the highest earner in Serie A, but his contract is set to expire at the end of the 2025-26 season. CEO Damien Comolli has indicated that updates on Vlahovic’s future are unlikely until the conclusion of the current season.

Juventus Plotting Another Contract Extension After Locatelli, Spalletti, and Yildiz
Reports in Italy claim that Pierre Kalulu will be the next player whose contract Juventus seeks to extend, following the recent renewals of captain Manuel Locatelli, star attacker Kenan Yildiz, versatile midfielder Weston McKennie, and head coach Luciano Spalletti.
Kalulu to Receive New and Improved Juventus Contract?
Juventus has been busy securing the futures of some of its key players in recent months. Locatelli, Yildiz, and McKennie have all committed their futures to the Bianconeri until the summer of 2030, while Spalletti has signed up for at least another two years, until the summer of 2028.
According to Tuttosport, Kalulu is likely to be the next player to receive a contract extension from Juventus.
The Frenchman has played more minutes than any other Juventus player this season, with 3,841 across 43 appearances in all competitions. This is almost 400 minutes more than the second-most featured Juventus player, Lloyd Kelly, on 3,426 minutes.
Kalulu already has a contract that runs until the summer of 2029, so there is no real rush for the Bianconeri to get a deal done. However, Sunday’s reports claim that there is a ‘great desire’ on the club’s part to hand Kalulu a new contract.
This contract is likely to come with an extension of one or two years, until the summer of 2030 or 2031, and will also come with an increase in wages.
Kalulu reportedly earns around €2.5m per season on his current deal with the Bianconeri, and Tuttosport claims that a new contract could see him earn similar figures to Locatelli, who reportedly receives around €4m per season on his new contract.
More pressing for Juventus, however, is the currently injured Dusan Vlahovic, who is the highest earner in Serie A but has a contract that will expire at the end of the 2025-26 season. CEO Damien Comolli has recently confirmed that there is unlikely to be any news on that front until the end of the season.
