Italian Serie A champions Juventus FC and their Chilean midfielder Arturo Vidal have extended his contract until June 30, 2017 after Vital put pen to paper earlier today.
Since joining from German Bundesliga side Bayer 04 Leverkusen in the summer of 2011, the midfielder’s sensational performances have enabled him to become a firm fans’ favourite and provided the driving force behind back-to-back Scudetto and Super Cup triumphs.
Vidal’s influence on the side is clear for all to see. Across a total of 100 appearances in all competitions, he has struck on 32 occasions, becoming the most prolific player under Antonio Conte.
And after topping last season’s club goalscoring charts with 15, he already has 10 goals to his name from 20 starts this time around.
Under Conte’s leadership, the Chilean has lived-up to his billing as the complete modern midfielder. Defensively, nobody has made more tackles than him, while, along with his undisputed eye for goal, he has also contributed the most assists in the past two-and-a-half years.
Today’s agreement marks the latest chapter in El Guerrero’s Juventus career, a story the determined performer will strive to enrich by achieving the club’s next principle target come May – a historic third consecutive Scudetto title.
