Juventus captain Chiellini opens door to playing on next season

Juventus captain Giorgio Chiellini isn't ruling out playing on next season with the Bianconeri.

After victory over Sassuolo, Chiellini was asked if he was playing out his final weeks with Juve.

“My love affair with Juventus is not ending. It will never end! The love is so strong that as far as I am concerned, but also I think them, it will never end," he laughed.

“Of course, from now to the end of the season I do have to evaluate everything, talk to my family about what is best.

“Let's reach fourth place first and win the Coppa Italia, then we'll sit down with my two families – at home and Juventus – to figure out what is best for everyone.

“It was the same last summer, I took time and didn't sign the new contract until after the Euros. At my age, you can't look too far into the long-term, but that's only natural, it's all fine.

“I hope you can see that I am happy, relaxed and want to keep enjoying myself with my teammates, then we'll see."
