On Wednesday, Juventus formally revealed a brand-new contract arrangement with among their star strikers. This tactical relocation is created to extend the gamer’s income circulation over an extra season beyond the formerly developed timeframe. This choice shows the club’s dedication to keeping a strong lineup while handling monetary responsibilities efficiently.

However, the gamer in concern may not be the one that lots of fans were expecting.

In a current advancement, Juventus has actually validated that Arek Milik will continue with the club through the 2026-27 season. This extension comes at an essential time as the 31-year-old Polish worldwide, who at first signed up with Juventus in the summertime of 2022, has yet to appear in any matches this existing season. His current efficiency has actually raised issues, specifically considering that he last played competitively on June 7, when he represented Poland versus Ukraine, suffering an injury quickly after kick-off.

Since that regrettable occurrence, Milik has actually been mainly missing from both training sessions and match days at the Allianz Stadium, increasing speculation about his future.

In a way comparable to their method with Dusan Vlahovic, Juventus has actually chosen to extend Milik’s previous agreement by one year. This method intends to disperse his reported income of around €3.5 million net per season over a longer duration, therefore relieving the monetary effect on the club.

The statement concerning Milik’s agreement extension was significantly quick, yet substantial. It states:

Juventus has actually reached an arrangement with Arkadiusz Milik to extend the gamer’s agreement till 30 June 2027.

The Polish striker, who has actually been with the Club considering that August 2022, has actually up until now scored 17 objectives in the 75 matches he has actually played in black and white.

While this agreement extension is a favorable action, it does not ensure that Milik will stay with Juventus beyond this summertime. There have actually been relentless reports concerning the club’s intent to unload Milik throughout the previous summertime transfer window, in the middle of substantial lineup modifications. Those speculations might effectively resurface this summertime, possibly causing a significant shift in the group’s structure.

One of the essential elements making complex Juventus’ capability to move Milik is the exact same problem that has actually kept him sidelined this whole season — his continuous health obstacles.

Milik has actually dealt with numerous obstacles throughout his healing from a knee injury that demanded surgical treatment last summertime. Initially, he was anticipated to return by the winter season, either in December or January. However, those timelines moved to February and ultimately ended up being unpredictable as his possible return date constantly moved even more away.

As the season wanes, Milik will have missed out on more than 50 competitive matches, a fact that highlights the effect of his injuries on both his profession and the group’s efficiency.
