Quagliarella to pen new deal

Fabio Quagliarella is set to be rewarded for his professionalism and form this season with a new contract at Juventus.

The Old Lady have been busy extending the contracts of their players and Quagliarella looks like he’ll be the latest to recommit after Paolo De Ceglie, Leonardo Bonucci and Alessandro Matri.

Quagliarella is currently tied to the Turin giants until June 2014, but the club are rumoured to be ready to offer him another 12 months on that agreement.

The Italian international joined Juventus in 2010, initially on loan from Napoli before he was signed outright a year later in a deal which totalled €15m.

The former Sampdoria and Udinese man has had to be patient this term to get his chance in Antonio Conte’s plans.

Quagliarella snapped knee ligaments in January 2011 which saw him sidelined for six months.

The 28-year-old has scored four goals in 20 League games this season, but he’s only started in seven of those.
