Rugani commits to Juve until 2021

Daniele Rugani has signed a new deal at Juventus until 2021, the Serie A champions have announced.

The 22-year-old was previously co-owned by Juve and Empoli, with the Bianconeri buying the remaining rights to the player in February last year.

Rugani spent 2 seasons on loan with Empoli, helping the club to promotion from Serie B in 2013-2014.

After playing every minute in the top flight the following campaign, the defender returned to Juve full-time at the start of last season, making 17 appearances.

The defender has made 8 appearances in all competitions this term, scoring 3 goals.

Sturaro signs new 5-year Juve deal

Stefano Sturaro has become the second Juventus player in as many days to commit his long-term future to the Serie A champions.

On Wednesday, defender Daniele Rugani signed a new 5-year deal, and Sturaro has followed him 24 hours later.

The midfielder joined Juve from Genoa in 2014, before spending most of the 2014-2015 campaign back on loan at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris.

He was recalled in February 2015, and made 19 Serie A appearances last season - scoring once - as Juve romped to a fifth consecutive Scudetto.

This season, he has made 13 outings in all competitions, but is yet to find the net.

Bonucci signs one-year Juventus extension

Leonardo Bonucci has extended his contract at Juventus by a further year, agreeing a deal to remain at the club until 2021.

The centre-back was heavily linked with a move to Manchester City prior to the 2016-2017 season, but the Italian champions announced his new agreement on Monday.

Bonucci, 29-year-old, was previously contracted until 2020, but has added a further year to the deal he signed in July 2015.

The Italy international joined Juventus from Bari in 2010 and has won 5 Serie A titles as well as 2 Coppa Italia crowns in Turin.

Bonucci has made 291 appearances for Juve in his 6-and-a-half years with them.

Pellegri equals record as youngest Serie A debutant

Rising Genoa star Pietro Pellegri has equalled the record for the youngest player to make his Serie A debut.

The forward came off the bench in the 88th minute at Olimpico Grande Torino to make his first appearance in Italy's top flight at the age of 15 years and 280 days.

In doing so, he equalled the achievement of AS Roma great Amedeo Amadei, who made his debut at the same age back in May 1937.

It was not an entirely happy occasion for Pellegri, however, with Andrea Belotti's goal securing a 1-0 win for Torino that leaves Ivan Juric's side 12th in the table.

Alex Sandro suffers thigh strain

Juventus wing-back Alex Sandro suffered a thigh strain in the Supercoppa Italiana defeat to AC Milan, his club have confirmed.

Alex Sandro had to be replaced by Patrice Evra after 33 minutes in Doha on Friday, in a match Milan won 4-3 on penalties after a 1-1 draw.

He becomes Juve's latest defensive player to be ruled out through injury - Leonardo Bonucci and Dani Alves are also out, while Andrea Barzagli has only recently returned to selection contention after spending 6 weeks on the sidelines.

The Italian champions have not released a timescale for Alex Sandro's return, but reports in Italy suggest he could miss up to 3 weeks of action.

Perin in tears after tearing knee ligament again

Genoa goalkeeper Mattia Perin is set to miss the rest of the season after tearing a cruciate ligament in his left knee.

The 24-year-old was in tears as he was forced off after just 8 minutes of Sunday's 1-0 Serie A defeat to AS Roma, having injured himself shortly after making a stunning reaction save to keep out an Edin Dzeko effort.

Perin only returned to action in September after suffering the same injury in his other knee last April, which ruled him out of Italy's EURO 2016 campaign.

Genoa sign Palladino

Genoa have officially confirmed the signing of Crotone's Raffaele Palladino on a permanent transfer.

The forward came up through the Juventus youth system, and previously represented the Grifone from 2008 to 2011, making 66 appearances and scoring 7 goals.

Sampdoria sign Djuricic

Sampdoria have officially confirmed that Filip Djuricic has signed on a permanent basis from Benfica.

It was reported last week that the Blucerchiati would take up their option on the Serbian, sending Pedro Pereira the other way.

That deal has now been confirmed, with both players signing on a permanent basis.

Gakpe to Chievo

Chievo have officially signed Genoa striker Serge Gakpe, on loan with the option to buy.

The Togolese international joined the Grifone in 2015, but spent the second half of last season on loan at Atalanta.

After failing to win a regular place in Ivan Juric's side this season, the 29-year-old has moved to Stadio Marc'Antonio Bentegodi.

Lichtsteiner signs Juventus renewal

Stephan Lichtsteiner has agreed a contract renewal with Juventus that will keep him at the club until June 2018.

The right-back's previous deal was due to expire at the end of this season, but he has now opted to stay put for an additional year.

Lichtsteiner previously appeared to be on his way out of the Turin club after losing his starting berth to Dani Alves, but he has fought his way back into Massimiliano Allegri's plans and has now been rewarded with a new contract.

The 33-year-old joined Juventus from Lazio in June 2011 and has since made 161 appearances in all competitions for the Old Lady, scoring 13 goals in the process.
