Jeep have been Juventus’ main sponsor for the past four years. The American SUV company forged a partnership with the Italian side in 2012, replacing Betclic as their official shirt sponsor.

The two parties agreed a six-year extension in August of 2014, which took the initial pay-out of €11.7 million per season to €17 million.

Jeep are owned by the Chrysler Group, who were bought by Fiat in 2009. Both Juventus and Fiat are owned by the Exor group of families and controlled by the family of club president Andrea Agnelli.

Juve also have a $26 million-a-year deal with sportswear brand Nike. They have also been one of Europe’s most successful teams in recent times, and have been dominating the Serie A in Italy for the past five seasons.
