Juventus have officially extended Uruguay international Rodrigo Bentancur’s contract to June 2024.
He will be 22 next week and was purchased from Boca Juniors in the summer of 2017 for €12.5m as part of the deal taking Carlos Tevez to Argentina.
His contract was due to expire in June 2022, but he has added another two years and significantly increased his salary.
It’s reported to be worth €2.7m per year net, while Daniele Rugani is also expected to announce an extension soon.
“His career so far can best be described as one with a recent promising past, a brilliant present and a future waiting to be written: all with the Juventus jersey on his back,” read a club statement.
This season, Bentancur scored two goals with three assists in 40 competitive games for the Bianconeri.
