Juventus prepare to extend Luciano Spalletti’s contract, with the coach set to play a major role in shaping future transfer decisions.
Juventus are expected to confirm a new contract for head coach Luciano Spalletti, with reports suggesting the Italian will gain significant influence over the club’s transfer strategy. The extension reflects growing confidence in his leadership.
Spalletti initially took charge in October, replacing Igor Tudor, and signed a deal running until the end of the 2025–26 season. The new agreement will reportedly keep him in Turin until the summer of 2028.

Under the terms of the extension, Spalletti is expected to earn between €5 million and €6 million per season. The official announcement of the new contract is anticipated to arrive shortly. Juventus are believed to have decided to secure Spalletti’s long-term future earlier in the year. The move followed a strong run of form, including a 3-0 victory over Sassuolo that capped five positive results in seven unbeaten matches.
As part of the agreement, the club have reportedly promised significant investment during the upcoming summer transfer window. The aim is to build a squad capable of competing immediately for major honours.
Juventus are looking to strengthen several positions, including goalkeeper, central midfield and centre-forward. Defensive reinforcements are also being considered as part of the broader squad overhaul. Several high-profile names have already been linked, including Alisson Becker of Liverpool, Antonio Rüdiger of Real Madrid, and Bernardo Silva from Manchester City.
Italian reports suggest that Spalletti will have a major say in identifying transfer targets. The arrangement could see him take on responsibilities beyond coaching, effectively acting in a hybrid role that blends head coach duties with strategic decision-making.
