Khaberni - Juventus officially announced the extension of their third goalkeeper Carlo Pinsoglio's contract for an additional year, to end in June/2027.
This renewal is more than just a routine procedure; it honors one of the most influential elements in stabilizing the dressing room ethos of the Bianconeri over the last decade, according to the Italian newspaper "La Gazzetta dello Sport".
Despite having played only 6 matches in 9 years, Pinsoglio (35 years old) has transformed the role of the third goalkeeper into a “leadership role”. A graduate of the Juventus academy who climbed through the youth ranks, he returned home in 2017 to become the “invisible thread” connecting the team’s stars and the management.
Juventus Renews Contract of "Lucky Charm" Pinsoglio
• The "Shadow Captain" and Joy Creator: Pinsoglio is known as the "Lucky Charm" and "Soul of the Team"; he is the primary motivator for players in training and the first to celebrate goals from the bench with enthusiasm surpassing that of the starting players, a vital role valued by coaches to maintain morale during challenging times.
• Friend of "Legends": Carlo has exceptional relationships with the club’s star players; he was a close friend of Cristiano Ronaldo, and now is among the closest people to Dusan Vlahovic, helping to integrate new stars and ease the pressure on them.
• The Importance of "The List": As a son of the club, Pinsoglio's continued presence secures a strategic spot in both Juventus' local and European rosters, allowing the club to register additional players without violating "home-grown players" rules.
• The Constant Element Amidst the Winds: Amid rumors of possible departures of Mattia Perin or De Gregorio next summer, Pinsoglio stands out as a safety valve for the Italian and Catalonian identity within the goalkeeper system.
While rumors had been hinting at a possible retirement at the end of the current season, the official signing until 2027 puts an end to this speculation. As stated in the club’s announcement: "Carlo is not just a goalkeeper, but the embodiment of Juventus spirit; positive leadership, and unending energy."
