Top 5 defenders out of contracts next summer

Juventus FC v UC Sampdoria - Serie A
Chiellini will run out his contract at Juventus next summer, but hasn't signed a new deal yet

#3 Giorgio Chiellini - centre-back (Juventus)

E
Will Giorgio Chiellini leave Juventus?

Contracted until: 30/06/2018

Giorgio Chiellini is one of the decorated footballers in Italy having won 6 Serie A titles consecutively with Juventus. Chiellini is 33, but would still make it to the bracket of the top 5 centre-backs in the modern game.

The centre-half has always been a fan favourite at Turin, and played 447 times. The Italian is a no-nonsense tackler and his performance against AS Monaco in last years Champions League semi-final proves Chiellini has much more left in his locker.

It is unsure if Juventus are offering him a new deal, but the Italian defender will surely prefer an extension. Moving to another Serie A team makes sense, as the pace of the Premier League and Bundesliga is too much for someone like Giorgio Chiellini who is entering his later stages of his playing career.
